The Alchemy of Water

Music swells up like mighty ocean waves
cleansing the sadness of my soul
permeating my thoughts
to quell the firestorm
within my mind

to which my dreams find me walking
along a sandy tided shore
each grain of sand sparkling
diamonds in a beam
of moonlight

a vestige matching my footprints
each one a solid reflection
of a path only I have walked
in heartache, despair
& triumph

before the salty brine of tides
comes to collect them again
to assuage each painful step
becoming an alchemist balm
a freeing spirit

    1. Thank you, Ian, and for following my site with your kind words…even when I do not write often. I am presently going through many changes in my life once again. Thank you for your patience and I hope you are well.

    1. Thank you Sue. I was raised in So CA and was never far from the ocean, in which I spent hours in the warm waters and sparkling sands. I now live so far from any water it saddens my heart but my memory will always hold fast to that which will always give me happiness. xoxo
