Take a tear.

One day in the summer,

You may lift up your skirt,

And walk along the beach . . .

In the sea,

Its cold tickling your toes,

          Such a wonderful sensation.

  By yourself,
 
     With your thoughts.

And theres one. . .in the back of your mind.

  'Go jump with the waves. Kick and splash, be free'

Even though you're cold,

You do it anyway,

You kick,
and you splash.

you jump over the waves.

You lie in the ocean,

and look up at the blue sky,

Laughing.

          And all the Pieces of your broken world seems to fit together,

         With that blue sky
                        and your laughter.

That Sense, is me.


On that beach,
              You sit,
with the one you love,

With the stars,
Its all so perfect,

It all makes sense.  

You look at them. . . and a voice says

'Kiss'

and you do.

and the collision of those soft petal lips.

Creates explosions. . .In your mind.


Those stars . . .Are me.


And when its Late,
and so so dark,

Your running along the sand.

Trying not your hardest not to cry.

You stop, to see the stars . . .Reflected in the sea.

You sit.


And understand.

You're never alone,

You have the Ocean,

The sand,

The sea.

You have me.


           You have yourself.

and I'll carry,
               you home.

    Fantasic introspective write! I especially like the lines "You're never alone, You have the Ocean, The sand, The sea. You have me. You have yourself" The sea has always been my source of rejuvenation and calm. I always go when the pressures of the world are just to much to bare, walking along and kicking the sand, and sceaming into the crashing waves and wind, releasing all the tensions, and finding back 'self' before the journey home. continue to let the ink flow, you do it so well! hugs and blessings, Sandi
