I made it this far

 

Six inches shorter.
Old as the land.
Snow on top.
Ice in the joints.
Light blurred vision.
Spring turned to winter.
It's a wonder I made it this far.

Charmingly Fun Challenge:

Winter.  Wonder.  Land.  Six Inches.  Snow.  Ice.  Light.

 

Along the shore

 

 

Crusty crabs
           scuttle through
                        the tide pools.

Fish dart among
                 undulating
                         sea-weed forests.

Salted breezes
             push waves
                       on to shore.

Seagulls
         surf the ocean
                           rhythm.

Tides rise and fall.
                 Waves roll in.
                               Peace abides.
