St. George Island

Blue and gray touch, merge, swirl, blend.
Sea is sky, sky is sea.
The horizon hiding behind a misty veil of clouds
floats in an infinity of timeless space.
The world, a luminous illusion of silver blue.
Only the birds seem real
as they dance from sky to sea and back again
wings waving silently in peaceful air.
And I, a solitary walker on the beach,
surrender momentarily to the sky and sea embrace.
It cradles me softly in a feathery, weightless caress
And then gently releases me back to my body.
I dig my toes into the sand
and watch the horizon reappear
in a sudden streak of navy separating sky and sea.
