A Path to The Edge
A path,
Old boards over sea grass,
Pines watch us walk,
Some wood already bone from the salt.
Clouds,
Running from the storm,
Mirror of calm disturbed,
Water locks with sky.
We come to the edge,
Standing,
For now,
Force of nature surrounds.
Photos by Catherine Lynch, poetry by Robert Fanney.
