beach walk

bent into the wind falling forward feet drag
on the sand one dog pulling at the line the
other roaming up into the dunes for adventure
while the steps unwind for both of us forward

though some days progress is mired in a slow
down which cannot be described nor overcome
while the spirit wants to lunge forward into the
light persisting on the landscape without pity

so you must return to the state you’re in comfort
and make the day a moment where some pleasure
can emit its presence within your actions and thoughts
while preparing for the opening in the line which must
