And after a while

AND AFTER A WHILE

And after a while

it is back

to the beach again

the child within us

recklessly racing

on safe expanse

of sand and shore.

A little away

the horizon sea

stays its rush

mighty majestic shoulders

transform to

gentle foam ripples

playfully beckoning

to froth and bubbles game

on restless water edges.

Peace and comfort

haven in time and space

The spirit child is safe

Around the peace

the adult form

breathes in with a sigh

the cosmic song of life.
