Simple Gifts and Magical Moments

This is a closeup of a jellyfish

I write my name In the sand And watch the wind Blow the letters away. Alone on the beach I'm out of reach My head whistles The breeze blows Passing though, Leaving me, More empty Than I began. I drift My sleeves flutter The waves mutter Sand scrapes Nothing remains.

I love, The sound of the waves, Strong but subtle. The feel of the sand between my toes. Warm. The birds, so many species of birds. Bright and dull. Watching the water splash and shape. Light. Being able to walk and walk and walk. The smell. They way Coal gets crazy, like a pup. Butt wag. Sniffing the tide line then trotting up to the water Cautious and perky. Afraid of the waves but loving the cool. No swimming! He always has to taste the ocean water, Still salty. I love all the interesting things you can find, Bits of stories And the way it always changes. I love the peace.
