Weathering the Storm

Turbulent ocean
billowing clouds
numinous
reflecting
briefly glorified
by the westering sun
incandescent
washed reflection
in the surf
easing out...
Wind in my face
and the waves sighing
moment of glory,
soul-catching,
gone.

Gulls
and sandpipers
looking for food.
~Ruth Bell Graham

Went out this evening to watch the stormy ocean. It's quite humbling to see an angry sea. On my way back to the house, I found this little fellow hiding in the bushes.
