The waves are breaking
Foaming on the shore
The sun is sparkling
White on the water
The tide is singing
As it reaches for more
You could sit here
And let the constant wind
Teach you
Or a protective little dog
Who hates to see
his pack separated
Unity, perhaps –
No one should be left behind
Stick together
It’s better,
Safer for all
The waves might be saying
I’m coming back for you
Are you open?
Are you ready?
The wind relentlessly blowing
Louder than a whisper
More of a roar
I’m taking in deep breaths
Of sea air
I’m hearing the call:
Come with me
I am ever present, ever moving
Though you do not see me
But you can fly on this current
If you let go
See the kites?
