The whole equilibrium
\nAnd soundness of mind
\nA total fluency
\nBeing resigned
\nTo what is true nature
\nUnembellished and real
\nThe unlaboured willingness
\nOf waters that spill
\nAnd a sculpting genius
\nWith Driftwood and glass
\nWhat has been fashioned
\nBy wind storm now past
\nJettisoned remnants
\nThat took on a feel
\nOf their own expression
\nA tidal reveal<\/p>\n
Of the brine and the sunlight
\nThat softens the hard
\nLignins within and the textures
\nThat guard
\nThen worked by the sea
\nBy the wind by the brine
\nWith heat from the sun
\nAnd makes things divine
\ndriftwood already
\nFashioned each day
\nPredestined to be
\nWorked in such a way
\nThat the eye can evaluate
\nAnd the heart can accept
\nIn an adaptation
\nJust so windswept
\nViable vital enlivened
\nsurvivable
\nThere on the beach
\nTrue tactivity<\/p>\n
Paul Baliker’s thoughts
\nAs he shaves and he scrapes
\nIts the ocean he feels
\nWhere his mind just escapes
\nTo imaginary worlds
\nTo the shimmering sea
\nTo the rugged of rocks
\nWhere his mind wants to be
\nAlone with his language
\nCuriosity
\nWatching observing
\nWanting to see
\nAhead of the game
\nLost to the light
\nDiscovering angles
\nThat always feel right<\/p>\n
Resourceful fantasies
\nComing and going
\nInsight and empathy
\nSeemingly flowing
\nThe bizarre and surreal
\nConcocted maybe
\nMake believe spangles.
\nStraight out of the sea
\nInstinct and impulse
\nSufficiency
\nAmple supplies
\nOf alacrity
\nIngenuity beckons
\nThe artform compounds
\nThe wisdom of practice
\nOf doing the rounds<\/p>\n
Of the transformation
\nThe wonder beyond
\nAghast with the past
\nWith what was the bond
\nThe observance of wonder
\nAnd ecology
\nOf what has been happening
\nIn front of thee
\nDriftwood great stacks of it
\nFashioned and lent
\ntime pure and simple
\nSo wistfully spent
\nMagic a smattering
\nUprightness too
\nMoments in time
\nRecreating anew.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
