Seabreeze

​Once so full
of something
I felt
but as the tide
follows Her
so moves the waves
I can search
the stars
for all I find
but only at dawn
will I finally see
The Light
spills across the horizon
and stretches beyond my mind
swallowing the glimmer
of the old navigator’s map
The blackness
of the sea
turns to shades
of blue-green
and the sand
glows like the sun
rising from the mist
Each day
a new beginning
each night
a new adventure
between the birthing
dawn
and the dying
dusk
Never anything
like the cleansing breath
of ocean-air
in your lungs
