BATHED IN SUMMER SUNSHINE

 

Bathed in summer sunshine

Gentle breezes stir the stems

But above in the golden sun

Grow an array of perfect gems

PEBBLES SMOOTH

 

Pebbles smooth,

Like crude glass

Smoothed by nature

Time and tide

Its patterned form

Marbled in style

Sits comfortably

In the fingers

To be skimmed

Back to the ocean

ICE AND RAIN

 

Ice and rain

Sleet and hail

Storm and tempest

Wind and gale

The rugged rock

Cannot prevail
