oregon coasting

Taking moments to reminisce the beautiful fog

pressing into mountains covered with greenery

and large sitka spruce.  Boulders standing tall as waves

crash against their bodies creating a mixture of chaos

and stillness.  Myriads of people grazing on cheese

and ice cream, but not here, at this heaven too far from earth.

No background noise hinting at civilization, simply pure sounds

vibrating across caves and crevices in the summer.

Standing tall—glancing at one another—drawing energy

into our thighs and down through our toes.  Each view, panoramic,

each heart, full of vibrancy, each mind, euphoric.
