Ocean

I adore this melody The swish and sway of your movement The calming sense of purpose Perseverance To return always Back and forth Gathering momentum As you approach the finish line I wonder where you’ve been And I imagine it should be everywhere For only gravity retains you And not even in all forms Giver of life Immense and vast…

Después de Irma (Puerto Rico)

Puerto Rico got really lucky with Irma, but that doesn't mean shit didn't go down. Here are pics of the next day in San Juan where the effects were not as strong as on the eastern side of the Island. There are lots of trees on the ground and electrical posts broken. There is no electricity, but there is water,…

Sunday Morning Gift

As some of you might know, I'm very fond of nature. In particular, I really like mushrooms. I think they look like tiny fairy umbrellas. This morning, nature blessed me with these that I share now with you.(All pics by me.) May you all have a Splendid Sunday!

I Am (Throwback Thursday poetry from 2001)

I am once again the oceanRestlessly pounding the reef bound shoresCold water floating in the surfaceBoiling undercurrents, waiting… My salty expressions grow biggerWildly, yet gracefullyI fold within myselfCrashing against the rocksTorn by my instabilityI am without causeWondering aimlessly across the horizonSelfishly perhaps, ignoring the rest of the worldI am,But nobody seems to notice © 2001 Maricel Jiménez  All rights reserved.
