standing on a shadow's lace

destiny is
on a beach
it’s in the tide
that roars
the very sand
that clings to me
is from
a foreign shore
nothing ever
stays in halt
forever the flow
goes on
I hear the song
of the waves
and to it’s whispering
I am drawn

love the imagery here and the suggestion that
all is so terribly temporary here

When you put your hand in the ocean
you are touching all the waters of the world.

Yes, all things end, all things change, and yet...

When you touch the soul of another,
truly touch the soul,
you are connected for that moment
to all the souls in an infinite universe.

I live near the seacoast.  It is hot tonight and windows are open.  As I read your poem, a breeze bought in the scent of the mother ocean.  It made me smile.

Thank you for sharing your poem.

Perhaps it is
that you are Venus
reincarnated,
and what you feel
is a need to return
(your "destiny"
full circle,
from birth)
to the waves
from which you
uprose?
