Enlightening Strides

lap upon lap
 wave upon wave
 calming waters 
 ripple round toes

 with each stride
 footmarks fade
 behind
 as I wade

 shoreline spreads endlessly
 birds babble perky chants
 breeze beckons peaceful trance

 oh the ocean's song's
 so serene...
 lap upon lap
 wave upon wave
 each step closer
 to inner sanctuary
 abiding light
 broadening soul's sight

 sovereign autonomy
 splashes on pages
 of my life

 enraptures me
 capturing holy harmony
 within...

 at last
