I ran by the sea
to look at the horizon
and the waves
rushed to the shore
to tickle my toes.

If the clouds above could speak
what would they say
in these moments of solitude?

The palm trees swayed
with the wind
leaves stayed in place
as nature continued
with the dance
slowly stirring
then shaking
moving
anything light enough
like my hair.

Freedom calls
to those
who question
and wonder
where
we are headed.
The desire for discovery comes
to find a space
where you and I and everyone could meet
in peace
at last
the sun sets
ending the day
with an array of
beautiful colors.
There’s hope
for tomorrow
the sun will rise again.
