Sea shells
Sand breeze
Blue skies
Robust ease
Tall pine trees
Sit down
Or walk with me
Look around
What do you see?
Land river
Gentle feather quiver
Trickle, ever simmer
Deliver
Effervescent bringer--
Come correct,
Bell-ringer
Drumb, bum
Dead center
A no-interest lender
What contender?
Are you lost?
In descend or
In the middle
I see you.
But let’s consider
When were you last
Outside?
How many times
Did pain
Push aside
Dismiss
Shield the light
Before your very eyes?
Confused
You hide.
Compromise
Delight
All the while
Mother Nature
Smiles
A loving sunrise
And each night
The Sun
Paints the sky
A starry, Sun-sent
Decline.
You decide.
Tonight.
Say your goodbyes
To what keeps you
Behind.
Look up
And climb.
Humble child.
Succumb,
Feel the heartbeat of the Tide,
Push and guide,
Mother Oceans
Respite.
Crash, roar
Waves upon the shore
Adrift,
Salty mist,
A cleansing gift
Seeks
To give you
A kiss.
Ever stop
And listen?
Slowly beneath
Your feet
The sea
Washed your toes clean
No need
Constantly
Kneed
Grind
Fix
Tweak
r e l a x
Breathe.
Ask the trees
How they keep,
Greet
Cycling
Every season
Without braking
Still manage
To grow taller
Yes, stronger
Through
Weathered water.
