Blushed cheek children run
to the watered gardens edge.
Playing and laughing feeling so free,
tiny markings of footprints are left in the sand,
mingling with a fragile delicate feather,
bare tip showing, covered with sand,
not wishing to give way its secret place.
Childrens laughter shout out in chorus
a magical enraptured plea
singing notes of summer's endless
wonder and joy, such sweet melody’s
on this glorious midsummer's day.
The hot July day disappears in a flash.
Thunderheads building in the sky
sending children scurrying back to shore.
The sound of waves crashing
against the sandy shore
calling to distract my mind,
gives way to an ancient primordial pull,
somewhere beyond the ocean
the distance is shattered
charging my body with pulsing electricity,
I hear a sound in the distance, a clap of thunder,
then lightning, energy abound and unfurled ,
music to my soul, for tranquility I do not seek.
For it is not the easy life I crave,
ones own music must begin to play
and lived to the edge of all we can be.
The Rain burst from the sky unleashes its fury
with the force of arrows shot from a bow.
I use to be afraid but now I understand,
there is beauty in chaos crashing into my dreams.
I totally surrendered
I was allowed to play.
