Start by untying the laces of time,
shuck shoes of clock-watch minutes
then peel off socks with their
can’t-breathe seconds:
unfettered soles know freedom.
Feel instead the invidious sickle
of grim-reaping sands slip softly
between toes; the lumpen grind
of saturated schedules shift
and slowly slide.
Let waves of ceaseless ebb and flow
wash over, over, over
until, in their continuum,
you paddle, wade then swim.

Ah, the relaxation of just melting into the ocean and walking on the shore...heaven on earth!
I get to do this quite often and feel so blessed for it!
Great Write,
Peace, love and light,
Amber

You can either accept the inevitable or move to San Diego where I read once that the mean temperature there was seventy-something-degrees, and that ain't bad. Another winner from the Burnside pen . . .
