i hope my words are strange and wondrous,

like kisses that quiet all things superfluous,

so that we can all stop and

listen

to attempt in words,

the emotions and thoughts in my soul.

life is so full of inevitabilities.

and time moves forward in one direction.

i find myself standing in the flow,

feeling the sand recede around my ankles

the feeling you get from standing at the water's edge

when the waves withdraw from whence they came.

i don't move.

but sand...

sand and more sand...

shifts and flows.

i've developed a taste for being still.

and for long walks.

with my itouch for company.

with it, the voices of so many.

each one exploring an emotion i wish i could express.

but lack the skill and the talent to.

this endless flow of future to present to past

is tragically beautiful.

this loop.

my heart has been at peace lately.

i've been called sentimental,

over emotional.

and i accept this title.

being in tune with my feelings, makes me a better person.

but i'm also changing,

as the sands flow beneath my feet,

they exfoliate, and remove all the dead cells.

and i am renewed.

with the tide.

each morning

each evening.

and one day, all the physical will rub out with the tide,

and all that's left.

is all that really mattered all along.

im learning,

that people do change.

have faith.
