My Story

there's not too much to tell of this story
no hero, no clown,
disaster nor frown
no gallows, no rope
just living of life
with sunshine, with hope

barefoot walks on storm drenched beaches
where worries up and wash away
I watch with real attention
noticing

each flicker, each moment
kissing a thousand waves
caressing the fatal flux
of visceral phenomena

it's beautiful

enamored in the iridescent
the blue
falling off the horizon

the world is flat

shells open
then float
alone in the depths of her sea
