These posts are visible with my most recent writing at the top, but the story starts with the first post. The poems have been added more or less as they surfaced and evolved through the process. Thank you for taking some time to explore with me. For more information and/or to schedule a reading contact me at meanderingspublications@gmail.com"> Bio page for Find Maine Writers:

As Wide as the Ocean

 As Wide as the Ocean

Decompress,
                        restore,
             recover.
Feet held by cool sand,
legs awash in foamy brine,
soul soothed by
            the sight,
                            sound,
                                                sensations,
                            of rhythmic waves
                    as they
                                swell,
                                         roll,
                                                    crest,
                                                                break,
                                                uprush,
                                     backwash,
                 intermingle
        over and over
    and over again.
Shoulders back,
heart open,
breath comes
with ease.
As wide as the ocean—
fully you,
fully me,
all the way in it
together.
