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
