In recognition of Poetry Month, and to celebrate and highlight our treasure trove of Orcas Island poets, Orcas Issues is pleased and honored to again offer daily poetry during April.

Meditation

— by Susan Weiss —

A handful of round stones.
I found them
perfectly smoothed
on a beach
perfectly round
like the crescent moon.

Their shape –
infinite as the forces
that crafted them –
in my hand,

Endless and mindful
reminding me of
who I am.
