Beaches and Writing

Maybe you love beaches

especially deserted ones

where the only sounds you hear 

are the waves and the seagulls. 

Maybe you come here to walk

and to empty the mind

so it can absorb the rhythm

of the water.

Maybe you stand in shallow water

and see the sun reflected

at your feet

and then look up

at the blue blue sky

and that astounding

sun.

And maybe then

when you are realigned

you go home

to write.

Mm?
