Lessons Learned On A Day At The Beach
waves wish wash into shore,
whipped up by wind
send spraysandsalt into the sky,
into my eyes up my nose as I
am in the sea, at peace, with the
crash splash wish-wash spraysandsalt
body tumbled beneath a body of water
layered like a cake:
Sun
Sky
Ocean
Me at the bottom, in the sand, coming up
waves roll the blood through my veins
every tide must return to the sea
