….If I Understood

there was a stranger on the beach
walking too close to the edge
I held my breath watching him
as he straddled the thin line
then suddenly the splash got him
he was covered and shivered
then the water warmed to his skin
regained his balance and smiled
I wondered if it was a lesson
and I wondered…if I understood

I agree....a lesson understood.

Something tugs at me, I've no doubt of that.
Something from the sea, whichever one I'm near.
When I stray too far from beachland, it calls me back

Enjoyed this a lot. I think that's amazing how we can see if we look and hear if we listen.

I've been that stranger, and I've seen him. He learns, but most often what he learns is that, barring rogue waves, it's just fine to get a little wet....it doesn't hurt and it can heal hurts you already have.
