I have not written any posts for awhile, just catching up on other matters.  To continue the theme of Ekphrastic poems, I refer to a photograph depicting a window covering — a sheer curtain billowing inwardly from the sea breeze over a covered bed, with indistinct images appearing through the window frame.  It brings a thoughtful, relaxing  moment, as if one is laying in a swaying hammock on a lazy summer day.   

A Sheer Curtain 

A sheer curtain billows
With the ocean breeze
To and fro,
Rise and fall,
Like a swaying hammock.

A beach comber at rest 
On an inviting bed,
Breathing in,
Breathing out,
Like the pulse of the tide. 

Unclear images peer
Through the transition piece,
Back and forth,
Up and down,
Like the yaw of a ship.

A pleasant summer day
Spent in soft ambiance.
Now and then
Here and gone
Like a mid-winter dream.
