a new beginning
by Carolyn Covillegentle waves furl and break;
warm foam rushes for my ankles,
smoothing my sandy footprints.
as it plays with my hair, the wind chills my bare skin.
i shiver, yet am instantly soothed
by the the whoosh then silence of the waves.
on top of rocks,
arms outstretched,
i consume the salty air.
underneath this indigo sky,
my nomadic soul is finally at ease. 05/24/2004 Posted on 01/30/2005
