but the wind was chill.

You know how it is with

an April day.” -Robert Frost

A Home Again

A shell,
much like a human heart,
will change over time,
growing in size
and even its capacity
to hold different inhabitants.
And sometimes
even the whole ones,
and the beautiful ones,
and the perfectly useful ones,
find themselves
empty and discarded.
And so,
I throw them back into the waters,
always,
with a wish and a prayer,
almost an incantation, really,
because of the number of times
I’ve done this ritual from the shoreline,
in the hopes that some being
will one day see it for what it is,
know just how to get inside,
and by doing so,
will make this empty vessel
a home again.

Thoughts On This Winter Day

"There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
I love not man the less, but Nature more . . . "

– by Lord Byron
