Sunset at the Beach with a Poem

A Winter's Day

Too much gray in a winter

day paints me blue.

My arms swing

full,

my legs drag.

Too much gray means

faint light, rare
occasions to walk
the beach, less time
to watch the gulls.

Too much gray fogs my brain,
but it clears of an evening
as the sun sets,

to calm

and restore
me with this Zen
moment, this pull

between white and black

between yin and yang.
