For over 100 years she has kept sentry here on the spit,
forever longingly looking northwards.
Caught forever in the sand,
she will never sail the cool Pacific again.
So close to making her goal of finding shelter within the calmer waters of the river.
only a few miles beyond this place of wind and warm sand.
Above her fly seabirds who call this place home
I wonder what they think about as they glide above the sand and waves.
on this warm but windy summer's day.
on this warm but windy summer's day.
Blessings this early morn,
Aimee

Thanks so much for taking time to leave a comment! I LOVE hearing from visitors and your comments most always leave a BIG smile on my face and sometimes a little giggle too! I do moderate comments to ensure a family friendly blog and also to catch any spam so your comment won't post immediately unless I am online at that time. However, I do check for comments regularly. If you don't see your comment post within a day or two, it's most often due to it being a Sunday (when I limit my Internet use) or, at times, a computer issue. Again thanks and have a GREAT day:)
Blessings, Aimee
