Walk on the beach

by

Frank Valentyn

At my green deep again today
after such long absence
my blue-green deep
and its infinite quiet
greeted there my breaking wave
and saw into its sighing
felt the quiet rhythm birthing, birthing
in my own soul the healing tide
picked a tiny glimmer from the sand
left in greeting by froth-laughing glide
moistly transparent, a diminutive shining
echoing my hopeful tears
my pounding fears unbroken
what was it that was born
and lived and died
in a thing so vanishingly small
and how did its lesson find me?
Oh, how I care
so deeply care
within the flood and the tide and the quiet
the quest and the shell that bind me

within my green deep to mend again
to stay perhaps a little while
my blue-green deep
greeting there my breaking wave
and to drink of an infinite quiet
