Nature

A post for;  ABC Wednesday - H for Haiku, and Sensational Haiku Wednesday - nature.

at the water's edge
watching undulating waves
holding me spellbound

the gentle rhythm
lulling my senses softly
my gaze holds steady

looking out beyond
a memory for keeping
nourishes my soul

    The sight and sound of waves is so soothing, love that shot! These haikus are wonderful, Karen. I feel the rhythm and a longing in them. Definitely a memory keeper!

    This was a very soothing poem. I could actually sense the calmness of the waves.

    How true. There is a healing magic in water. And the ocean perhaps more than most. Thank you for this gem.

    Living near water has always been important to me and, with rare exceptions, I have pulled that off most of my life. Watching the waves roll in is as close to a magic potion as I know. Very soothing. Thanks for reminding me.
