If the sand, warm-feeling, toe-sinking,
Hugs feet, meeting salty shores, exuberant,
So am I.
If the seas grow hard-going, wave-mounting,
Crashing grey, impatience in their depths,
So am I.
If the wreckage of boats, soul-touching, wet-facing,
Saltiness of both ocean and eyes,
So am I.
If the lonely island of escape, life-soloing, hide-insiding,
Calls introvert,
So am I.
Who am I?
If smiling, screaming, crying, living, full of emotions,
So be it.
So am I.
