The Beach - imbedded in time and space
Strolling slowly the frontier between ocean and coast Carried by the smooth rhythm of the waves The stormy wind that blows away all sorrows and dishevels your hair The churned up sea with its white crests dancing on the waves Let your face and hands getting wet by the salty spume Take a deep breath and absorb deeply the smell of the ocean and the tang Taste the salt Run over the wet sand Find wonderful shells, washed ashore by the stormy ocean Watch the seagulls and the sailing ships, their fight against wind and waves Being dazzled by the sun, which creates thousands of glittering spots on the water Watching how the sun immerges like a dark red slice into the ocean and disappears slowly behind the horizon. Waiting until the last light has vanished Only sitting around and let one's mind wander Reflecting about the fact feeling too important and how everything vanishes quickly in view of the infinite wideness of the sky and the ocean In view of the traces which one have left and which will soon have disappeared. Feeling that there are connections between oneself and the infinity The ego becomes to one of the many grains of sand, carried away by the waves.... To be washed ashore some times at this, some times at that coast.. Low tide and high tide.. Symbol for the tides of life The breathless silence of the backtracking ocean The return of the water, so lively and sensuous It's the moment that counts... |
