Sandcastles in the Air

The Waves are big,
Crashing
&
loud right now~
{I can hear them from my house}
Smiling sandy faces,
large mounds of seaweed
&
kelp scented air
unlocked a memory today...
A memory of
how important it was to me
at one time in my life
to build
sandcastles~

I love the water,
being on the sand
collecting & creating
with jewels from the ocean.
This is who I am~

I realized today
that I have outgrown
my urge to
build sandcastles
on the sand...
But I have not outgrown
my first love...
the sea.
Or lessons I have learned from her.
She taught me well....
I now build my sandcastles
in the air~
She is a mother,
always teaching
&
always honest...

I learned very quickly to
respect
my mother in nature.
I am grateful that
she taught me all my life lessons
right here in
sandcastle air~

Have a beautiful week
little mermaids
&
get your toes
a little bit sandy~
