Solstice Dawn
dawn was at 04:28 today
but at these latitudes it doesn’t get dark in June

Scenes on Sunday ~ Cold Dawn
the dawn crept in, silently, coldly

purple and grey
like the cloak of the world
Scenes on Sunday ~ the Sea and the Sun
our lives are painted in colours borrowed from the sea

early dawn over the North Sea
her eyes spoke to his soul
behind her beautiful eyes lay secrets darker and deeper than the sea
~
it took me years to realise
that much to my surprise
I could find paradise in her eyes

her beautiful blue eyes enraptured his heart

he traveled the world
to find spectacular beauty on his own doorstep

by dawn’s early light
Scenes on Sunday ~ Sea
I must go down to the sea again
to the lonely sea and the sky

Scenes on Sunday ~ The Marina
the garret is a couple of hundred yards from the harbour and marina
a gateway to the seas and oceans of the world

Marmy never says much,
But, what’s he thinking about
Peace and Tranquility
the prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective
~
Each day I go down to the sea to pray to my Goddess. Always at the same vantage point, I face the morning sun, calm myself and say my short prayer for the day.
This morning the sea was very grey and calm, with a surface like hammered metal, the colour of slate to match the grey clouds which had suddenly appeared overhead.
I asked that my Goddess help me find greater peace and calm in my life, because a peaceful and calm life brings more and better, kinder things along with it.
At the instant my prayer ended, the clouds parted a little and a shaft of sunlight struck the sea, turning the area I was looking it into a sparkling, burnished silver mirror. More than quite surprising.
You know what? I took that as a sigh that my Goddess looked favourably upon my prayer, and the generosity of spirit in which the prayer was meant.
As I turned away that shaft of sunlight vanished too.
