We Begin

Waves carry my limp

Body to your rocky shore

Bundled with seaweed

Gasping with gratitude

Tied and tethered with knots

Torn and loosed from dark sea anchors

A caress across my face and chest

Wind on wrinkled skin

Pasted with sand and salt

My eyes adjust to light

Lungs to air, deep and

Uplifting

My heart to your sky

Warming me in this new place

From which we begin
