Poetry About Danger

The warning flag snaps hard above the beach. Beyond it, calm blue water hides a pull. A gull steps lightly where the foam withdraws. My body knows the edge before my reason. Danger is often beautiful from a distance. Wisdom is the shore we choose to keep.

Evening changes the weight of the scene. A gull steps lightly where the foam withdraws. A smaller detail comes forward. Danger is often beautiful from a distance. Meaning gathers without raising its voice. Wisdom is the shore we choose to keep.

The warning flag snaps hard above the beach. Hours pass, but the image does not leave. A gull steps lightly where the foam withdraws. It returns us to risk, instinct, warning, courage, uncertainty, and the bodys knowledge before thought. Danger is often beautiful from a distance. The day continues with a more attentive heart.
