the wind carries his whispers

beckoning me to return home

to walk along his long shores

to bury my toes in his sands

his breath tousles my hair

​

his companion the sun warms

my face as his arms reach out

to gently caress my tired feet

or gift me a beautiful treasure

​

his smooth rhythmic cadence

invokes a peaceful calmness

his presence appears endless

his depths seem bottomless

with unimaginable mysteries

​

he has always been

he will always be

long after

          i no longer am

​
