Sea Grass Supplication

Impressionist painting of sea grass

Sea Grass Supplication originally appeared in The Curator Magazine

I wish I could pray like sea grass,
near-silent with the power
to slice ocean gusts down
to breezes, warm
their frigidity,
comfort the weary
whose paths in life
cross mine. Sea grass
waves in joyous
supplication,
spindly pale fingers,
dark wrists of root,
unaware of its vast reach
—a triumph
of quiet insistence.
