Don’t be
Afraid
What you do
Hear the static
Stillness undertones
Initial whispers of doubt
Easily drowned out
By the deeper parts
Of you there is no road map
For your hearts intentions
When you are
Face first in
A great expanse
You will find more
Than easy
Answers
Listen softly
Take a sip

There should be tons of comments on this image!!! It is fantastic!
🙂 Thank you! You just made me smile so much. The stillness is deafening in this image, I think.
Aw I’m so glad! There is just nothing like the Northern California Coast…well maybe Oregon and another place that is just stunning is Big Sur! We will be going through there around xmas time. I hope we have decent weather even though we need the rain.
i don’t think I could ever tire of looking at this piece-of-art photograph. The composition and contrast draw me in and hold me.
Thank you so much, Janet. I felt exactly the same way looking at the real thing! I sat here for quite while, drinking it in.
I’m with Laura!! This is a fantastic image!!! Lovely poem that so matches the mood!
Thank you so much, Cybele, I really do love this image and it is so nice that a few people are noticing it, even if it is after the fact.
Thank you for reading and enjoying my poem too. Sometimes images just speak to my heart and then I get to write what they say down. 🙂
