Above the black rock and sand
Where the surf runs to foam
And the blue sky peeks through the clouds
I watch the Earth breathe
Breathing in with the flood
Breathing out with the ebb
The eternal dance
Of the sea upon the shore
I watch the Earth breathe
Breathing in with the flood
Breathing out with the ebb
The eternal dance
Of the sea upon the shore
I wish, for a moment
That his grace was mine
That his freedom of flight
Was something I could experience
Such exquisite beauty
People are like that too
On the inside they may seem a little dead
But all they are
Is thirsty
Told no stories
Left only enigmas
It is August
No snow is falling
But the haze
Of forests burning
Solitude
Among millions
Sole witness
To creation
I give us solitude
Connect to the battery
That is nature
And draw from her infinite energy
I love the chutzpah of communities
Which plunk themselves down on the edge of a continent
That the sea has been ferociously taking back
Since the land was born
