slender

Receding into the distance,
a silvery slenderness,
turning purple, then black in the dimming light.

I walk to this lady of the woods
who stands alone upon this moor.
She still claims the light,
as light is everything to her.

Her crimson catkins separate
like wings, to flutter
into the breeze,
a swarm of speckled flies.
Undressing her tissue skin
again and again, she endures
revealing her white graceful

beauty

Seaweed

Cresswell Beach

between their toes seaweed mushes
it comes out of nowhere
squeals and screams
wet, cold skin meets cold, wet skin,
pods pop, bones crack, the sea rolls in

I couldn’t resist

The Serpentine, Kensington Gardens, London, 01 April, 2022, 17.42

I’ve really enjoyed sharing my love of water over this last month. And this isn’t the end of The Healing Properties of the Seas 2022 project.

Expect more 10 second videos to appear for the rest of the year and beyond.

These clips of seas will be posted on the blog first and then find their way to the portfolio page by and by.

A river takes it own sweet time to reach the sea. Slow and steady it goes. I’ll take my lead from the waters.
