There’s a quiet to this place
in that transition between winter
and when-will-it-get-here spring.
Ocean ombrés from greys to taupes
bereft of sails and buoys,
lonely tides missing congregant gulls.
Lulling seeping fog muffles sound.
Low-lying dulled clouds meld into one sky
misting all that lies beneath.
And if perchance the sun should shine
clearing skies to blue,
cold damp air chills the bones still.
Lean-into gusts of wind
accompany the lone walker,
a speck of time on these vast sands
in the quiet of this place.
