Waves
The waves’
little licks,
muss piles of sand;
chalk blue horizons,
bathe crystal-glass land.
Wet basting breezes,
Salted pink baby knees,
oiled baby bottoms
cool in the seas.
Oceans reflect,
the blue of turquoise;
beneath candy striped umbrella’s
toddle tikes playing with toys.
I can tell you of the waves;
the push and pull,
the ceaseless tide,
the tiny tumbled treasures
of pebbles by my side.
I can tell you of the waves;
the sinking surface of sea and sand,
joining all the clay of man;
as he sinks into the Mother
and melts into land.
But the paper pages end
and why should you sit here?
The waves are calling to you
with birds, boats and dreams.
