dry leaves skitter
past the temple censer,
colored by lantern.

“Time” by Percy Bysshe Shelley [w/ Audio]
Unfathomable Sea! whose waves are years,
Ocean of Time, whose waters of deep woe
Are brackish with the salt of human tears!
Thou shoreless flood, which in thy ebb and flow
Claspest the limits of mortality!
And sick of prey, yet howling on for more,
Vomitest thy wrecks on its inhospitable shore;
Treacherous in calm, and terrible in storm,
Who shall put forth on thee,
Unfathomable Sea?

PROMPT: Middle Name
Daily writing prompt
What is your middle name? Does it carry any special meaning/significance?
Gerard. As far as I know, the only significance is that it met the twin criteria of: a.) there being saints of that name (having been raised in a Catholic household, that’s a must); and b.) having sufficient penetration into Ireland to be considered an acceptable name for one of Irish ancestry. (Though I believe the name’s origins are Germanic.)
Though there’s a good chance I have a same-named ancestor of whom I’m oblivious.

Ripples [Haiku]
rocking boat,
splash heard behind --
spin to see... ripples.
