The Path to Life

I walked the path to the shore
To the sea and it's undulating song of life
The cool wind of winter's coming awakened my heart
Life is here in the wind and in the change of seasons
It's in the rhythm of movement the enduring surf provides
Wisdom is in knowing when we wake the reality of re-creation
Life is in the pursuit of reality, in finally realizing our priorities
I find my life near the shore and in the wind and in the company 
Of a brave soul who shares her sweet vulnerable life with me
For when she does I am lifted to find life in me
Still it is the cool wind that comforts me 
The surge of the sea that amazes me 
While she holds my hand
