Haloed blessing

Missing image
the sun haloes, the sky,
circling above sea
in misty morn’

that shed from its rough
upon the land -
an escape

her beaches,
bruised, shaken

the shivers seek, calm -
a blessing

Author notes

Our beaches were battered by strong wind [120 km/hr] and sea over the weekend. All is calm this morning.

    Strong Imagery

    Wow this is just increadible. I love your poetry for you have such a wide range of expressions. Oh how sad about the beaches being bruised and shaken but just as nature don't we both look for calm and blessings? You have me really thinking deeply on how to write poetry in a different perspective. I was just reading your whole homepage. Congradulations on your new book of poems as well as your other book. I will have to order one soon. Thank you for sharing your gift to write with me.
    Many Blessings
    Much Love

      Thanks Kelle Marie

      You will not believe it. While part of our country was battered by stroms, another received snow, and another was locked into a spreding wild fire that did not of damage. Here at the coast we were battered, but we have 'lovely' photos of these 'smashing' waves. All is calm now - just the aftermath. Lovies to you. Frans

    Wonderful Imagery!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Good morning Frans. Your poem brings vivid imagery to the mind as we wait for the hurricane season here to be over. God churns the seas then calms the waters once again. I always enjoy your uplifting poetry. Take care.

    Bless You,
    Sandy

    the image you embraced in this poem is very beautiful

    that shed from its rough
    upon the land
    an escape
