Photo Poems

Forever a work in progress, this page is dedicated to the Wind, a place where tomorrow, today and yesterday are one in the same. Gentle.

As Lord Alfred Tennyson inspires…

“Break, break, break, on thy cold gray stones, Oh Sea!
And I would that my tongue could utter
The thoughts that arise in me.”
