The ocean stretches, each wave a verse, a poem of movement and rhythm, each splash a celebration of existence.

I stand at the edge, where sand meets sea, a liminal space, where I feel the heartbeat of the earth, alive and wild, a reminder of love that flows unceasing, forever patient, forever kind.

In salt and foam, I uncover my soul, and the whispers of the sea speak to me, a promise to return, to find joy in the tides.
