Sunrise at the seaside
Bloodied the water and
The golden sands blushed,
But not for long,
A few minutes and it was gone.
A tiny movement caught my eye,
~~ a bird flapping?
It was not, but a sweet wrapping
Trapped ‘tween sand and breeze,
Flip-flap, flip-flap as it tried to get free.
I loosened the sand and watched
As it sailed way, way up in the air ~~
A kite without a tail, but it was free
As free as it could possibly be
And I thought, “If only we… …”

if only we indeed…but then again, maybe we just need to move a bit of the sand hold us down and we could….

We are as free as we allow our mind to be…

Quite a gift, Denise
To find a source of beauty
Even in litter
