BEACH  EDGE  MORNING 

I like to walk along the edge
of the ocean and the beach.
 
It’s a game – jumping back –
away from the inflowing waves.
 
This edge of the earth has
this most soft jagged edge.
 
The sand pipers play this game
way better than me  - but ….
 
But I can look ahead and see
more morning travelers – or ….
 
Or the sun rising – or a fishing
boat stopping – or a surfer ….
 
Knowing this is my morning prayer,  this is
how I like to walk on the edge of a new day.
