CHASING THE SUN HAIKU

Early Risers, Kiawah Island, SC
Swaying Sea Oats, Wrightsville Beach Island, NC

Find Yourself in the Islands

Morning sun rises,
saturating beach and sky,
with glowing red rays.

Morning joggers run,
early risers walk the shore,
others meditate.

Breezy sea oats sway,
sand pipers scurry in foam,
all chasing the sun.

Sit in the warm sand,
listen to the tide roll in,
seek and find yourself.

BEACH HAIKU

Beach Escape, Wrightsville Beach, NC

A fusion of sand,

sky, spirit, magical light,

and relentless waves,

combine to create a beach.

Sand between your toes,

summer breezes through your hair,

cooling salt water,

and sunbeams warming your skin.

Escape to the beach,

listen to a reggae beat,

the sounds in the womb,

the heartbeat of breaking waves.

Island timekeeping,

is measured by watching tides,

as they come and go,

another simple pleasure.
