on Seven Mile Beach, early, 1 January 2022



Sitting on the beach in dawn light
On this spinning planet, eyes toward horizon
Earth rotates into a new day, a new year
Clouds transform its arrival into spectacle
An extended sunrise for another year
Shared with friends who have also dropped by
Grateful for this gift with which to start 2022



Grateful I can share it as a greeting to family members and friends,
wishing you all a year of wellness, safety, peace and equanimity.
