at the Georgia bite
A glance through glass reveals the awesome sight
of clouds approaching, billowing above
the ocean. Tonal changes—gray to white
and white to gray—occur each second of
the minute soon to be a quarter-hour.
Outside by then, phone ready, I take three
quick pictures, even though I know the power
of nature overwhelms photography.
I keep the only shot which comes close to
approximating memory; but when
I go about enlarging it, the view
is marred by specks. I wipe, and wipe again,
before I recognize what must be birds—
a happenstance deserving these few words.

A lovely poem with vivid imagery. Nicely done 😊
Oh, I love this one! When I want to capture a beautiful, misty morning, cameras never quite do the trick
