Whispers to the sea

A light wind

whips through my hair

as I walk through soft sand 

gulls fly by eye-height

and glance at me

they, the messengers

of the green-blue sea below

the August sun shines its rays 

my hand brushes 

through grains of sand

connected again

gathering rocks now

I whisper to them my thoughts

and toss them into the mouth of the bay 

where time goes to rest

where my secrets shall stay
