Why I Love You

The sand beneath my feet, the waves above the water, floating endlessly in search of nothing. Hitting the water, the sharpness of breath, I feel renewed above these waves. Towel around my shoulders, sitting, gazing at the horizon in the warmth of Maughold's cove, one tiny inlet, to almost feel new, pleasure in the being. The plateau of sea beyond me, all around me, sensing the curvature of the earth. Curious people bobbing up and down between rock and sea. No picture to remind me, prefer the sensation of that moment. Yesterday I heard, today I feel. At one with the emptiness, beauty reaching far out to sea, just me, a hint of something beyond a sea infirmary door.
