My last heartbeat ...

We set up the green deck chairs not far from Joe's -

It was high tide -

Swimming was again a cure for melancholy - 

I felt my heart soothed by the forgiving sea - 

The fine sand beneath my feet knew my skin -

I gazed up at the pale blue sky - 

The waves carried me without complaint - 

Each one was as ancient as the stars -

Each one was as new as my last heartbeat -
