I hear an owl’s hoot in the darkness and shiver. Is that you? Are you watching over me even now? Closing my eyes, I sense your presence and find comfort.

Low-tide. A detectorist sweeps the beach, hoping to discover treasure.
Each high-pitched alert, he takes his trowel and digs carefully into wet sand, pocketing ring-pulls, tinfoil, wire, an occasional coin…

Seek me in the dew of peach rose petals,
Hear me in the song thrush's verse,
Seek me as you walk the cliff paths,
Feel my caress within the breeze.

Thanks Danielle! As I draft the final response to this month’s 30words30days challenge, I’m already wondering β€˜What’s next?’. I yearn for September (the next 30-day month), yet summer’s barely begun.
