#364 looking up from a window in a valley

oceans call, but mountains insist
and i am drawn, but not stuck
in this mountain valley, i am a vireo's egg in its nest
while the slow metronomic beat of the ocean
forever a mental recording, plays at will
like the sound of rocks receding into water between waves
oceans and mountains
safety and risk
conflict and balance
