Pier Pressure you would think there would be no pressure to experience from the height of the pier, looking over the cobalts and emeralds, a sun out there in the distance setting alone leaving crystal fragments on the blue comforter for me to pick up in my indulgences but the pier feels the pressure of the waves daily as they come and go back and forth release and persist bringing along tranquillity strangely met and it is not without some merit that waves move sand and rock and emerald-olive growth for it is against that very movement the barnacles hold bracing fast against the quay but the salt sea holds thereon in time and therein within the very post upon which the pier is made up of, applies daily pressure and force, night and day, the ebb and flow egress and regress of minute minutes pressuring pressuring in slow laps and waves of tropical hurricane until the post is aged away with time of centuries. so while you exist today with peer pressure, do think of pier pressure and know you are not alone. ©Karilea Rilling Jungel 12 August 2000 |

Karilea you have captured a piece of my heart with this one. I absolutely love to find one of your works in my day. This is so beautiful. I love the ocean and your analogy is so cool. Well done just doesnt seem like enough.  |
