Grand Efe

the waves are blue and crystalline
the sun permeates everything
the sand and the smell of salt
are a possible universe

the waves gather light and air
and splash the eroding rock with it
everything is awash with the fact of beach
and the day is too brittle to carry cynicism

Thanks Ozy! That is a wonderful comment. I've been on vacation at the beach. That has to make an etherial change in one's attitude. Thanks for those wonderful words, my friend.

Thanks sweet Gulnaz! I know it has been beautiful literally and I'm equally sure the metaphorically good place has been visited a few times lately. Yes it has been wonderful and I wish you could have been there too! Thanks for that fabulous comment sweet lady.
