The Sea. (Mauritius in November)

The sound

of the waves

and the sand

under your feet

The eternity

of the water

and the taste

of salt in your mouth

The quiet

and the storm

soft rainfall

and soft wind

The heart

beats slower

you move

without haste

Your thoughts

trail off

and every moment

counts

Your mind

is at rest

you grow into

the world

And then you go home

again

The time

at the sea

is never enough

But it will get you through

winter.
