Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

We all took tentative, cautious
steps into the icy sea
Unsure of the wisdom
of our temporary sojourn
walking out from shore,
tide rising, coming in,
bringing numbing cold,
and a soup of baby jellyfish.
At least the cold
took the sting out.

Title 8/9/07, poem August 10, 2007 9:01am
Rogue Bluff Beach
Our mission trip,
from Wesley United Methodist Church,
Concord, NH and from First United Methodist Church,
Hudson, MA to Jacksonville and Machias, ME
to the Down East Maine Mission,
Jacksonville United Methodist Campground,
East Machias, ME
