Waves A Waving

a wave rolls in
washes up
the sandy beach’s incline
as if the beach
were taking a
breath in

remnants or the wave
slide back into the sea
as the beach seems
to exhale

only to inhale again
as the next wave
froths, rolls, and
ripples in

the steady breathing
of land and sea
as constant as
the stars and trees

leaves me
contented
my mind
at ease
