Kindness At the Sea

The palm tree bends in the wind at the sea
with smooth, beautiful, flexibility
A splash of salt water hits the sand
Rolling with sea shells onto land

Surprises to find in a special search
beneath wooden posts where seagulls perch
Watching what gems will be found left behind
By the moving sea, showing how to be kind

The sea is always a seat of wonder. The waves throw many useful things on to the shore! The sea is generous and kind. Beautiful small poem.

'Rolling with sea shells onto land' - my favorite line here, Heidi... Glad you're finding something in Nature to enjoy, given the wipe-out your area recently experienced. ~ Search and you will find!

Beautifully written Heidi. Makes want to get away. Cuba is beautiful the tides bring in millions of tropical fish they gather in the rock crevices in the ocean I had the pleasure of watching this huge aquarium. Hope you are well always praying for you and hoping the toxins leave your area or they clean it up...

Oh that sounds so beautiful, seeing the tropical fish! Very nice. Thank you for the kind comment. The testing takes up to 45 days for results for toxins and some of the testing is to check for Dioxins, created by the burn of chemicals they did. Dioxins are unable to be broken down. If there were to be high levels of that, there would be no choice , but to leave. I appreciate your prayers Michael. I am grateful for your kindness :)

I always find the sea so relaxing, it really helps to clear your head and forgot your troubles if only for a short while. Hope you're having a lovely weekend Heidi. Tom
