I walked by the vast shining expanse
Wishing to send my soul in its depths
To be cleansed
To have it breach and sink back down
To fling itself glistening with joy like a dolphin
Flying faster and faster
Laughing
I felt heartsick, weary with care
The sand nourished my bare skin
The Autumn leaves filled my eyes with a vibrancy that lingers still
The waves that beckoned over and over
Ushered peace to a spirit that had felt fragile and brittle
The air filled my lungs
Life felt renewable
I could keep on and even skip
Feel winsome
Tuck a Rose in my hair
