Waking in the cool sand. Tide coming in. Moonlight and emptiness. No not emptiness. Life is everywhere you just can't see it Sharks are feeding. Stars are burning Fish are hiding. Waves crashing on the shore. I Lay alone. My friends are somewhere else I lay in the cool, powdery sand. Soft and caressing. I look at the stars and sing amazing grace softly Without notice my eyes tear up. I think of Pepaw. God took you this Easter. I think if what you stood for. I think of Jesus. More tears. I think of my faults. My sins. I realize I am strong. Independent. Though I yearn for love I can wait. I Can be happy with my flaws and body. No more insecurities. I never felt so free. I am a changed person. And soon everyone will See.
