The Wave

My anxious heart compared life to a wave.

So I chose the largest one I could see.

Its grand whitecap stretched wide as it rolled along the shore.

I saw a young couple coming westward in white.

The sun to their back.

Their path met a man walking a dog on his right.

Then a group of seagulls flew along the shore.

Over the horizon, a cloud bank wisped choral against a blue sky.

This and the new waves rising, seemed like enough.
