Poem: Island Winter

Shannon LawsJanuary 5, 2014December 17, 2021Madrona Grove2010, beach, frost, San Juan Islands, snow, South Beach, winter

Fall is over

Frost is setting in

Clear sky or cloudy

Ice will be found in the morning

Alone

Quiet

No birds

No visitors

The ocean is colder

The beach is empty

A gull stands watch

On a beach wood wall

Solitude

Peace

Breath seen

Waves heard

…it is winter

South Beach, San Juan Island, from the bluff
