beachness

went to the beach this evening... got there right after the sun had set, so got to see the beautiful colors. chilled out with some high school friends... one's headed to nepal tomorrow. good talks...
but right as i got there, oh it was beautiful. my muse called me, so i just sat in my car for awhile. the following is part of what came out:

color and smoke and the sound of the sea
piling and leading to eternity
the cold and the wind sing over the waves
smelling of salt run the nights and the days
sand falls and shifts under hazy blue skies
rocks, eaten slowly, meet every sun's rise
footprints are melted beneath a bright moon
driftwood is molded by stormy waves' tune
all this meets here at the edge of the sea
where past, present, future, meet eternity


thar it is. in other news, i am growing increasingly fond of the Lord of the Rings - both books and movies, and at this rate, i'm frightened to think what i might be this time next year. don't worry, though. i'm not obssessed. and never will be. color and smoke. life is all colors and smoke...
