Winter’s Tide I walked the beach this morning breathing in the chill winter sprayed across the water exposing more than I cared to feel today I walked it alone the same places I had been with you and the white sand had turned gray I had to admit it was a different view I could again see you in the surf swimming close and by my side I turned when I heard the gulls crying and you were gone just like the tide "Pour yourself thick, when it is you, that you spread." |

I like that very much...It makes me want to leave school now and go down to the beach and watch the sunset set and stay there alone..and think..and think.. "Water Over Matter" |
