BeachedAt the watermark
the line is drawn,
there, the sharp cool clearness
of a torquoise mirror marines me,

in awe filled wonder under starlight,
with crescent moon reflecting ocean's waves.

SerenityRich and unrelenting are you
You who has captured me so
Always changing never ending
The water to my kindling.
Tall and blue are you
You who has enraptured me so

Any doubts I've been having.
This is joy...

Violently mimic the wind,
stay salty yet flow like water....

Mad somersaults
Alone
To their own...
