“Treasure”
Specks of sunlight glint,
like gems scattered in the sand,
dust catching the eye.

Specks of sunlight glint,
like gems scattered in the sand,
dust catching the eye.
Steve D
Like a speck of foam
bobbing between salty swells
to land somewhere new.
Steve D
Stresses numbed in waves,
falling away like sand grains,
washed out on the tide.
Steve D
So many questions
through babbled words. True wonder
shining through your eyes.
Steve D
…A time so finite,
excitement, nostalgia, both.
Hold on — not too tight.
Steve D
Looking through snapshots,
you’ve changed in so short a time.
A one-year lifetime…
Steve D
Waves boom against sand.
Sea salt sprayed into his eyes,
open in wonder.
We had a nice weekend in Cape Henlopen and Rehoboth, DE with my mom, step-dad, and sister. Nugget got his feet wet in the ocean for the first time, and he seemed mesmerized by the waves. I can watch the waves crashing on the beach for hours on end. Maybe he will share my love of the ocean.
Steve D
Lounging together,
laughing as he grasps for fur.
This couch is too small.
Steve D

Tunnels and bridges
hidden among skyscrapers,
leading to the shore.
Steve D
End of day tension.
Neck crack. Exhale — temple rub.
Hope for no emails.
I went to a conference in Chicago for work this week. The conference was a great experience, and I stayed in downtown Chicago and got to wander around a bit on Tuesday night. But after being stuck at Midway for 8 hours on Wednesday and dealing with canceled, delayed, and re-booked flights, I still felt like I was recovering on Thursday. This coming weekend is very much welcome.
Hence, the non-post 🙂
