moon slips behind 
 thin, wispy clouds —-
  shifting shape.

PROMPT: Live Performance

What was the last live performance you saw?

A local theater group’s performance of “My Fair Lady” a couple months ago… Unless, you count several minutes watching a group of fire jugglers on the beach in Krabi.

“On this wondrous sea” (4) by Emily Dickinson [w/ Audio]

Posted on May 6, 2025 by B Gourley

On this wondrous sea
Sailing silently,
Ho! Pilot, ho!
Knowest thou the shore
Where no breakers roar --
Where the storm is o'er?
 
In the peaceful west
Many the sails at rest --
The anchors fast --
Thither I pilot thee --
Land Ho! Eternity!
Ashore at last!
