On The Beach

Inspired by Kira's photography.

She sits,

ankles crossed,

staring out to sea.

The warmth of the sun on her face

sooths her pain and grief.

She wriggles her feet

in the warm sand, feeling the grains

trickle between her toes.

Sometimes she wishes she could burrow down,

deep into the earth and rest in it's womb.

The breeze softens the heat in the bay

like the breath of a kiss on her cheek,

and her heart is heaped with hope,

even in this dark day

of knowing the death of a child.

The sound of the waves

lapping gently at the shore

is like a love song on repeat,

and as she stares across the ocean

the horizon seems to beckon her,

softly call her,

to her lover's arms.

My pleasure Kira. I feel for you given the circumstances of the loss to young parents and you and Asaf's relationship with them. Many thanks for reading and allowing me to use that photograph.
