A cliff of weathered stone and moss
with tamped dirt approaching edge
smiles down on cool sea below.
Sun rising on the eastern coast
wears shoes for diving,
a gainer off into the light breeze.
She stands with arms through her coat sleeves
watching with one open hand inviting Fate.
Photography is the death of living the moment.
Sun nimbly on the trapeze,
lose trust and surely
she will be thrown.
Dance, my Sun,
bliss will come
to those who run.
Embrace her fate
or likely it
will dissipate.

A cliff of weathered stone and moss
with tamped dirt approaching edge
smiles down on cool sea below.
Sun rising on the eastern coast
wears shoes for diving,
a gainer off into the light breeze.
She stands with arms through her coat sleeves
watching with one open hand inviting Fate.
Photography is the death of living the moment.
Sun nimbly on the trapeze,
lose trust and surely
she will be thrown.
Dance, my Sun,
bliss will come
to those who run.
Embrace her fate
or likely it
will dissipate.
