Reverie by Maine’s Rocky Coast
By Duane Pierson
on pondering what
has been long pondered
the significance
of redoing the obvious
seeking profundity where
countless predecessors
did the unceasing same
watching tired waves
crash on ancient rocks
reflected golden sun
fractures away on
the undulating surface
a seabird effortlessly glides
through splashed foam
as if to signal
a trenchant answer
to something not a question
transcendence is found
in being present
where contemplation
is blithely generated
to finally end
an emptied shell
dropped back
by a screaming gull
into a persistent sea
