Water soothes chaos
Whether you are six or sixty
Crashing waves produce a heartbeat
Of their own making
Glistening off the water
Sun rays reach for me
Soothing shaky nerves
For what I know to be
Endless gaze over the horizon
Inducing trance of numbing
Bliss,relied on by my soul,
Synaptic brain drumming
At the water’s end I observe
My own reflection pulled in
To crystal yet sandy water
Mimicking a broken violin
Fresh scented breezes
Move with such pleasure
Just above the foaming tide
Of this Door County water
Images of Peace seen in waves
Water moistens the scars of life
Raising one’s hope to the brim
Aqua blue liquid lets sunshine in
