I settle into the midst
alongside the mass of
sand and shell fragments
waiting for hopes to select me
or cast me aside.
The particles of debris shift beneath me
as waves pass
and I linger holding fused visions
of realignment and change.
Every now and then
the winds of transformation
generate a positive resolve
between dreams and reality.

Great poem, Tracy... I love your thoughts on dreams, change, transformation, etc...
That is an excellent Quote also. Doors are always opened and closed for us along the way. It's all about choices, decisions, faith --and ATTITUDE...

Wonderful photos, and interesting thoughts that match them, love the quote.
nicely expressed and illustrated. i sure wish some winds of change would shift us the right way more times than not!
Ms. T what a beautiful poem and pictures. That lovely sand makes mom eager to get some sand in her shoes.
Ms. Karen is a math teacher at Apex High. Oh Mom found NH Bookery and she is so excited for several reasons. Your reading and she loves bookstores. She had no idea it was there.

Very nice poem and worth pondering! Have a great weekend:@)
Such a beautiful poem, really "speaks" to me.
I feel like I've spent a very, very long time "waiting for hopes to select me or cast me aside."
Mostly cast me aside, perhaps. :-)
Awwww! Lovely! Hope hope never casts you aside!
Take care
