sit with me beside the sea

and let us watch the waves

and maybe you’ll remember 

that there is power beyond 

your own frame of reference

and fantastic beauty 

to be found

all around 

~~

and that disengagement

that you have worn as 

part of survival long

may start to fade

if we sit here and 

watch together

in hope

and wait
