Poem 'Eyes Closed'

Eyes Closed

On the shingle beach

I watch you play,

I feel such peace I could cry.

You are filling your bucket;

the golden grains glowing in the brittle sun.

You stand upright and look at me;

straight into my eye.

We are one together, at peace together.

I sigh and close my eyes and take

a single breath and in that moment I wonder

if I will ever know a greater happiness.
