Response to Prompt #63: Blue Mind
Happy is he who is awakened by the cool song of the stream... by a real voice of living nature.
-Gaston Bachelard
Invitation
I wake to the invitation
a cup of coffee and the sunrise
looking out from the balcony above
the vastness of blue eternal
interrupted only by the horizon
navy blue below and sky blue above
Saline air cleanses my sinuses, my lungs
my mind is relaxed, my heart at ease
the tide pulls back and forth rhythmically
a seaside rocking chair lullaby
only I'm awakened, not asleep
senses alert, the day awaits with promise
Stepping out, the soft, powdery sand like baking flour
rising between my toes settling to my skin
until I no longer notice or care
there is no care here
just warmth from the sun
and the soothing gulf coast breeze
