The Kindest Place

you should see the pipers
playing tag with warbling tide
gulls scream hungry for attention
even in extreme heat shade is found
magnetically I am drawn to this gulf
we are kin in sisterly skin
all of me, emotions dis-misplaced
as I look across the liquid without end
intangible but lock filled tight
distance is closer than you think
breath is balancing location
and this can be the kindest place

"no darkness has ever been deep enough to extinguish my personal knowledge of love"  Anne Rice
