Poem
You walk across the sand today
The same way you have before
Wind blows across the water
And the waves lick the shore
You hold a piece of paper
Containing something to release
You toss it into the ocean
And it dissolves into the sea
The sea tells the wind
About what it just consumed
The wind says to the sea
Well that’s just what I assumed
You see, sea
I know her well
About places she has been
And stories that she tells
I’ve carried her worries
And listened to her fears
I’ve swept up her hair
And blown away her tears
I’ve also listened too
To what others have to say
About how she shows up for them
And how she made their day
Just then the sun chimes in
And says I would have to agree
I know she has the courage
To surrender and be free
Just like me
I’ve seen her shine
When she forgets about the everyday
And remembers she’s divine
The sea, sun and wind
Talk about you into the night
The stars overhear it
And say that sounds just right
Each star has a perspective
Of how they’ve seen you glow
And about generations before you
People you might not even know
They’ve watched your mother
Grandmother, father and aunts
Millions of people
Who have all danced the dance
Just like the stars
You share some traits
But what is different about you
Is what makes you great
The moon weighs in
And confirms it is true
That with each lunar phase
You seem to become more you
He promises he will keep watch
Of what you have released
And they all make a pact
The sun, moon, stars, wind and sea
To illuminate your path
And carry with them your love
To spread throughout the world
For generations to come.
