Today the waves brought,
strings of words
mired in sea slime and salt,
glimmering in the melting moonlight
with quiet thoughts of remembrance…
Of the gentle breeze
and ecstatic kites,
like eagles hovering
in the cobalt blue sky…
Of a calm evening
splashing hues of orange and pink,
while we waited for fishes
to leap out
of the heaving Chinese nets...
Of conch shells
lying deserted
with secret missives
from mermaids
to lovers above...
And of course,
of storms lashing in rage
while the shore stood
like a tragic hero
subdued by his own flaw
in the final act...
