Moody River & Sound – Photo by Toni Roberts
Just took more photos of the river…
the river and sound have such a hypnotizing pull on me…
season after season
year after year…
day after day…

Distant Tugboat…Cloudy Sky – Photo by Toni Roberts
my son says
“but ma…
you keeping on taking the same photo
over and over again…”
he does not see the subtle changes from photo to photo
from day to day…
season to season…
the shifting shadows…
the shimmering light…
seasons marked
by the
absence or presence of sailboats on the sound…
the stillness or gentle flow of the waters…
the tugboat far off in the distance…
the mood of the sky…
the shifting shapes of dancing clouds…

no…
he does not see the subtle differences
from year to year…
for he sees only with eyes
while I see with heart and soul
this river and sound that are kin to me…
this river that has held-rocked-soothed-nourished-and-healed-me
through twenty-four years of
pain
sorrow
loss
agony
and the
deepest-of-soul-stirring
joy...

Storm Clouds Over The Wetlands & Sound – Photo by Toni Roberts
no…
he does not see this
gift-from-the-“GODS”-view
with
eyes-of-love
as I do…
for it is
my
life itself
that is
reflected in the waters below…
