Behind the Green Shield

A Rainy Sunday Afternoon as the Rain Drives in

Holy green and strips of black,
Dark grey sky over
Sunday rainy waves
As I look through and beyond.
I stand behind this salt-soaked shield
Wanting to be free.

Netting provides protection to our home on the beach during low season stormy weather. A film of sea mist covers everything destroying electrical equipment.

Thank you for reading. J.
