Lopez Island

And if I remove myself from the experience
There is just the pink and blue sky
The cry of the gull
The pleasant sound of the waves gently lapping
The shellfish and seaweed smell of the sea
Gratitude
And a gentle, sweet sadness
That my heart isn’t big enough to hold it all.

  1. Dan, I love this poem, it reminds me of home and brings those moments into my midst, comfort to my mind in this far off country.
