Day 159-Listen and Remember

The wind through the redwoods
sounds like the ocean as the
waves crash upon the sand.

Silence. Calm. Then
another wave of wind.

Hold up a large
seashell to your ear
and discern the roar
of the waves rolling
onto the shore.

The wind through the redwoods
resonates like the rushing
clamor inside the shell.

Whoosh!  Shhhh!
Did you hear it?
Be patient.  Listen.
It will come again
and you will hear.

The ebb and flow
of life before resides
inside the shell
and upon the wind
through the redwoods.

Close your eyes
and see the beach
where you wandered.
Feel the warm sand.
Breathe in the salt air.
Hear the distant waves.

Just like the wind today
through the redwoods,
You and I are there
on the shore
once more.

Daddy and Jaclyn
