Between the Waves
We are drawn
to the sea,
Where the tide
never fails,
When the water
is clear
And the cold
winds are tamed.
Let there be
no more storms,
Nor a shift
in the sands.
Let us pause
for a while,
Let us swim
in the calm
I am a photographer/ poet from Dumfries in South West Scotland. I concentrate on minimalist images and prefer using an iPhone these days. As far as my writing is concerned, I usually write short poems (some in Scots dialect), hence my interest in haiku and related forms.

Wonderful again Derek, epitomises our current situation beautifully. I’m full of admiration for your skills as a wordsmith, you paint emotional pictures.
In truth I’m more than a little bit jealous.
"I have enough time to rest, but I don't have a minute to waste". Come and catch me with your wise words and we will have some fun with our words of wisdom.
