You're a Beach

it was hard for a beginning swimmer
holding her hand
being dragged down
into her salty depths
it was hard to breathe
God was never far away
Zeus was always frowning
drowning was daily
each moonrise
a new existence granted
a new sea monster
to grapple with

myths were exploited when I saw you
shining on the shore
brighter and more welcoming
than any lighthouse
you were home
certain harbor
so far away
but worth the exhaustion

so I come to you
because you are the sand
I prayed for
and dreamed of
you're a beach of infinite
delicacies and discoveries
mine for the exploring
I'm your adoring beach comber
ACE in hand
spitting salt
