Tidal Surge

The waves wash over welcome sand,
the Oversoul such a wide and ponderous thing.
There is freedom on the land
for legs and claws, feathers and wings
and a simple life of quotidian things
and me.

The tide rolls out to the deep

and carries away the steps on the path,

the settling of accounts by cabin’s light.

It is a relief to once again roll into the sea,

the home where there is only a present tense

of to be.


~William Hammett
