Instead of Gulls


Click to enlarge. Duck, NC

He gave up the ocean,

gulls on the wind,

traveling less,

to walk the field and quiet the mind,

to watch the winter come.


Leaf by leaf and seed by seed,

the hills were as deep as the sea

and held as many mysteries.

And still he found

he was traveling far.
