"My Ocean's Magic" painting inspired me to write itwo companion poems.

"Where Edges Meet"
You are here
Where shore meets sand,
And birds dive deep,
And all edges meet.
I see you,
Your beauty,
Your pattern,
Your rhythm,
Your fragile,
Your brave,
And your rough.
They entwine.
My edges fade,
And I belong,
All of me,
To all of you,
Because you are here
Where edges meet.
And when I'm here,
I see you.

"My Ocean's Magic"
My ocean fills me
With hope.
With magic
And with curiosity.
Hope that the 'all'
I don't know,
Like the magic
In its waves
Will, in the end,
Become part of
My life's answer.
