Allowance

My prints are visible for now as I press the soaked sand Breathing in the cured sea air I hear the silent roar of its mighty movement Disobedient curves imbuing in an aquamarine blue Rhythmic grains of tamed shells So violently arranged in a thing of beauty along the beaten shore One should feel powerless against its perimeter As the constant ascension changes the beach slowly over time So to do I feel an ever so mellow shift of mind The sea is an ever so predictable place With an unpredictable aim Every bit true for life

Although the patterns of the shells on the shore are always changing, we know there will always be a new scene the next day. Yes, the sea is predictable and going to the shore always seems to restore my mellowness. I like the way you compare the sea to life, Laura. Beautifully written with insight and meaning! Love, Carolyn
