Musical Intercession
If I delete the news from home and flip all my attention
to aspects of the world escaping major media’s mention—
consign my concentration to birdsong and the tide
that washes out world sorrows that I bear inside
and fills me with the opposite of what the news exports—
that awareness of perfection that is what nature reports—
my life becomes more peaceful as my mind is set at ease
by nature’s lullaby sung to the music of the bees.
Prompts today are delete, home, flip, consign, opposite, birdsong.

Beautiful, and exactly what we feel when we are out sailing, minus electronic devices. Fantastic photos, too.
