Tidewater V
When Life Begins Moving Through Grief
The Tide
Today
the sea whispered,
Just notice—
dancing diamonds.

The Sea
Be
with me
Along This Shore
Long enough
to experience
nature’s doxology.
A lantern for the crossing
The tide rises.
The tide recedes.
The sea has no light of its own.
Sunlight danced across water.
The heron waits.
The reeds bow.
The sea glimmers.
Everything is simply being faithful.
