Arrival



the intense struggle to get here
the driving
the sitting
the waiting
the reading
the long and not-so-winding road
(known as I-5)
the brain in full gear….


it all falls away
dissipates like the mist
over the dunes
as the sun pokes up
and reaches out
to the shore



 stretching its long
and dainty fingers
and touching
the reeds
the mosses


a leaf
a branch
the rocks
and the sand….


the sigh
is long and submissive
