touching wet sand - v5

Turning the car East for but a quick moment
a small detour on my workday travels;
Stopping maybe for five minutes,
to go forward, to linger, to savor,
feeling the urgent pull of the sea.
 
Hearing the tides, the wind, the ocean,
walking toward familiar dunes;
Reaching down, at the water’s edge
touching wet sand, moving water,
connecting to the ancient, the primordial,
a simpler time on this path, this earth.
 
A casting in the liquid earth,
as temporary as the tides, retreating,
the moving waters, a breath;
Lingering but for a moment
gone before I turn ‘round.
