Jeanne Mcgee Poet Free verse

If I Close My Eyes

there is a sheeesey sound as water slides
                   up and around then all through me
                            as the wave is swallowed by the sand

     making clucking sounds as bubbles pop
      in a final burp of sandy breath

               along the shore all shorn and smoothly worn
                         from countless liquid sanding strokes
                                 shells and stones are tossed to grind

      in a kaleidoscope of nature’s weave of textures
      muted hues of earth in harmony with the sea

               I wait for the breech of the next wave song
                       to come and playfully tickle my shins
                               as the foam dances together with air

       that teaches me softness in its evaporated bliss
       with closed eyes this memory finds me
