You on the Beach
by Dan Linn
I see you on the beach in my mind,
at the edge of tolerance and surrender,
holding your pains like treasure,
loves like wings, without other things,
And swaying with the waves,
you threaten to rise like a leaf,
or roll like driftwood in the tide,
but you stand in the shifting sand.
Your mission here
is to sum your tears
with the salt of the world
and open your skin
to the sting of being aware.
For we are larger and smaller
than all we can perceive.
