Carpe Diem #1594 Cliffs … Renga With Jane Reichhold

giant waves
sea cliff rocks
summer sea secure
beach scattered with shells
painted by the sunrise
high tide
brings storm waves
to cliff dwellers
hunkering under the overhang
eating roasted pine nuts
after the storm
sandstone cliffs relax pebbles
into the beach
gathering adobe
repairing structural damage
sea spray
the cliff laced
by crystal
gleaming in first light
shadows dance with glee
frozen cliffs
swept by lighthouse beams
soft in the dark
wind echoing sound of past
in long abandoned dwellings
high tossed mists
warmed in morning sun
above winter cliffs
beauty not lost
with the passage of time
