Watching by Byron Beynon

Do you recall
watching waves through
a library window,
where a painter stood
near the edge of the shoreline
with the afternoon light?
Footprints that walked
towards the plastic-inhabited sea,
imagination drawn there
by the coastline's question
as to where all
the labyrinths of life disappear.
Before leaving the wide frame
he stood there,
a personal composition
that changed under
a resurrected air.
