A Chilly Vigil
Silent sentinels,
the snowmen patiently wait.
The nights are lonely.

Beach (Summer)
I sit on the sand
and close my eyes, listening.
the pounding surf roars.

Fall
The Autumn wind blows
making white horses gallop
all across the bay

Foam
The gray sea splashes
fragile doilies of white lace
over my bare feet.

Loves Brings the Light
In the darkest hours,
we are gently reminded
that love brings the light.

Spring is Here
Sturdy dune grasses
bend to the will of the wind
as Spring breezes in.

Spring Picnic
Spring spreads her blanket
And we put the basket down.
It's the first picnic.

Spring
On darkened beaches
tired green turtles lay eggs.
They know it is Spring.

Summer
The sun slowly sets.
Stars, dark until now, switch on
in the Summer sky.

Winter
Our socks and shoes off,
we test the Winter water.
It bites our ankles!
