Easter at Home

Easter at home In prime so highThe sea of treesCriss-crossed searchOf unseen vistasA doe path hidden Found in mudflatsYearning unknownOf the expanseQuest for wide openSpaces of mirrored skies The soul of a sea shellDrawn to ancestral ocean © #AndreaCConnolly2.4.2021 Good Friday

Scallop shell

  Scallop shells Forevermore I shall Seek you out   My palms your mimicry Filled, to be Giving, to receive   Air space hold all My heart beating In rays of salted hope   Timelapsed Horizons Shall be my shell   © #AndreaCConnolly 6.2.2020

Waves Rolling, by Andrea Connolly

Waves rolling   Waves roll on from out there Where copper gleam melts Into dove grey formations Ignite bronce evening light   Sea spray closes in Strewn beach strollers On bouldered promenade Overview seamed by dunes   Limestone mountains Loom in unique faces Rocks overhung rigid Rolls of ocean tide   Songs of tiny drops … More Waves Rolling, by Andrea Connolly
