From the Bay of Monterey By Margaret Marcum

White scalloped sands
drape my land of familiarity.
Fishermen cast their lonely hooks,
under birdโs vigilance.
Waves beg to be set free while
tumult prevails throughout currentsโ
Skies reflect solitudeโs melancholy gray.
A single indigo flower blooms
on the dunes where countless danced before.
Passion bleeds from fragmented driftwood,
encompassing each story unique, old and many
untold.

Your lines, “A single indigo flower blooms
on the dunes where countless danced before,”
remind me of our cities in today’s pandemic world.
Where countless people worked and shopped,
dined and went for entertainment,
not a single person blooms now…
Social isolation is taking its toll.
