One of My Favorite Things is walking along the beach as the rain falls and the wind blows I love cold days. I like it when the tides are thrashing against the rock walls and breaking with spray. I love the storms, watching the gulls soaring or the bald eagles spying from the cliffs above - maybe they are nesting. I kick the kelp bunched up and dried in the sand, and find the treasures of the sea. Maybe a beautiful, worn piece of driftwood, maybe a shell that sings the songs of the ocean, maybe - if I am lucky a mermaid tear. Mermaid tears - glass - softened by the sands and the water rough edges smoothed to velvet. Each tear dulled in time, turquoise, green, brown and blue. I collect them carefully placing them in the glass jar in my window sill. Mermaid tears shine in the sun, and if I listen - I hear the gossip of the mermaids. aziza |
