New Waves on an Old Shore
written by: Gerry Stefanson
@gerry_stefanson
The shore changes slowly,
each wave is new.
Each wave can deliver
a massive change to all
or just to a few,
For just about ever
a millennium to never ever
someone or something
lashed together
a log or two,
oar just grabbed on.
Then before you could
ever think of a sail
making one, never mind using one.
How ‘out board’ of an idea could that be.
They’re off discovering, exploring
maybe just avoiding a
cranky volcano or neighbour,
then again the shear adventure
of breaking the norm.

Born and raised on the prairies of Manitoba Canada, along the Red River and just south of Lake Winnipeg. Then Alberta and ten years in the Rockies, just above Montana. The last decade in the Canadian Gulf Islands. People, ideas and stories set the stage of my poetry and writing. Music and art fill my days and verse fills my head. I feel the fortunate one and share this world with my life partner.
