The Healing Sea

"The Healing Sea"
It's a late day in June,
     A cool wind glides
          through
               the swaying trees
          as the sting
     of the heat
finally softens,

The cool hues
     of every shade
          of pink and blue and violet
     have spread up
over the horizon,
     stretching
          across the sky
      with
a silky softness,

The rhythmic pull
     of the Ocean
          pushes
               the glittering embers
          of yellow and white
     reflecting
over the surface
     of the water
          toward the shores
               disappearing
          in a flicker
     against
the sandy rocks
     underneath
          the next sway
     of calm foamy surf,
I find the freshness
     of a cool
          Ocean breeze
     brings
me a smile.

The sting
     of memory
          finally
     begins
to mend
     among
this healing Sea.
