My Poem for Cape Cod

Bring to me the salted waters to bear witness for my quiet soul, and hold me close as your loving winds caress my body, as I stand at the shore.

You refresh my life each time I walk along the edge of where you begin and end, and the depth of your waves call unto my spirit, and guide the natural life of all that is, through me like the waters flowing through my fingers.

Lovingly do I think of you each time I leave and each time I return, and recall our first meeting, as I crossed over the bridge and gazed out over your woods and ponds to find the sea.

Such beauty in your simple quiet ways that long ago brought all that has come forth to this time and place.

I join in grace with you as I stand on the rocks watching the seas once again rise up whispering from depths of creation, and I know that all is, and will forever be, as it is now.
