Sea Angel

My church is a crystal ribbon of healing sand. Where land ends -there nests a sky-blue lighthouse. The turquoise ribbons cooling down the sun splashed land. Seagulls reciting their verse, pipers sprint about. Whispers that a child was swallowed by the hag. Outside the breakers the sailboats dip their bows. Strangers linking hearts, forming a throbbing chain. A sea angel was born that day, but I never went back again.

The lighthouse, gulls, pipers and sailboats set the scene for your entry in an amazing way, Anthony. I could see it all so clearly through your description and also sensed the joy this place gives you. Congratulations on your second-place win! Please send me a Soup mail with an address and let me know what type of earrings you wear. Studs, I assume. Best wishes, Carolyn
