My beach has a lot of rocks
not sand, not pebbles, not boulders
they are hard walking, especially when wet
they stretch out around me
wounds
disappointments
lost dreams
in the Valley of Vision
waiting for the Spirit to animate them
and put flesh on their bones
so I can properly bid them farewell
before all I am and will ever be turns again to
dry bones and dust
just a few more rocks on the beach
