Parallel Protests
I haven't written for quite some time, but I have A LOT of thoughts about yesterday's protest rally against our government's involvement and complicity in America's war on Iran, on the harbourside of my home city Bristol, and I need to put them somewhere. My gorgeous girlfriend is always a loving and listening ear and sharing it all with her will always be a healthy and happy way of processing the mental and emotional weight, but getting it straight in my brain to share means writing it all down in straight lines, so, here we are and thanks for being here.

I too want to be freed on the endless waves of the sea someday. Very beautiful in simplicity.

Lovely! The beach is indeed a place of freedom.
Oh, Angela, how poignant. That is how my husband and I want to go, into the Gulf of Mexico. Just lovely.
This was lovely. We did the same with my grandparents ashes. Every time I walked past that spot I thought of them and believed I could hear them whispering to me. I loved your haiku a lot.
A lovely farewell.
Awww!! How very bittersweet. All the emotions in this one, well done :)
