the sun makes shining diamonds
surface then disappear
within the waves
the wake of vessels in state
revealing and recovering them
like hidden treasures from the deep
and we are diamonds too
in this suspended moment
sharing ricochets of light
with the past criss-crossing our paths
and the gulls don't seem
to need to move to catch
the bits of bread slung
to them in slow motion
wings spread
suspended in the atmosphere
Just found this Rachel. It has a flowing empathy to it and plays so well with light which appeals to my photographic interests.a sort of churning of elements reminds me of Peter Grimes music by Britten. I wish you well!

Thanks Stu--I've been trying to experiment with formatting so I'm glad to hear it had an effect )
love the way the last lines are formatted works brilliantly

Good morning, David, thanks for looking in.
In the States, I traveled everywhere by car, except in those fairly rare instances when going by air seemed feasible and a worthwhile trade-off against long hours spent driving--it's hard to put a value on respite when it's needed.
Anyway, my lifestyle has dramatically changed, and I rather like doing transit hands-free ;

Looking forward to reading your own view...

Thanks for looking in, Ray.
I enjoyed the Benjamin Britten piece--it is like painting with sound. And, it made waking up to what is looking to be a somewhat grey day, a bit more pleasant.
