Illustrated Coctail Napkin Thoughts

  • Cocktail Napkin Thoughts

Again a New Day

The sun as well rises

On the narrowest of streets –

Promise ever anew.

Irony

For four hundred years and more,

These walls of time-compressed shells,

Designed to absorb English shot,

Excel now in reflecting sun’s early light.

Sun’s Sentinel

Hugging the shore of Matanzas Bay,

Old coquina walls, built facing east

To scour the inlet for enemy fleets,

Now lay deep in sleep each incoming day.

Reconnection

Fishing in calm surf

Quiet outside quiet inside –

Standing meditation

Fresh Start

The sun rises over the Matanzas Inlet,

Washing the facades of the waterfront shops

And stirring the family asleep below deck.

First gift of a good morning.

Morning at Castillo de San Marcos

The paths by the sea are quiet this early in the day

As the sun rises over the Matanzas Bay Inlet,

Gifting golden rays to the eastern walls and trees.

Seduction’s End at Salt Run

  Though retreating mist still clings to the eastern dunes,
And sailboats yet tug against moorings in the outgoing tide,
The rising sun is below the horizon by but two degrees,
And soon will end dawn’s dreamy promise of escape.

From the Gazebo at Vilano

 This summer’s sunrise
Aflame above and below -
Morning glorious

Morning Affairs

The sun has risen above the roof lines of Arles.

The woman turns onto Rue du Cloître.

She cradles the portfolio in the crook of her arm.

The abbot awaits beyond the arched gate at the Théâtre Antique.

Place de la Fontaine le Matin

Une vieille clé ouvre une vieille porte ;
Des nouveaux jeans sont en promotion à l’intérieur –
Un nouveau jour s’est levé sur une vieille place.

An old key opens an old door;
New jeans are on sale inside –
A new day begins in an old square.
