California Night

Jennifer Paige©1997

It’s a California night

Cool and humid

In my mind I’m on the shore

     Toes in ocean

     Heels in sand

     Rain in hair

And the distance of water flows

     Ebbs with wind

     Sighs with voice

And I alone, again, at last

Wandering senseless again

     Tired

     Aimless

I once found solace here

     With whispers

     And sprays

     And songs

     For days

I stayed in a paradise

     Of beach

     Fog

     And water, salty

     At my tears first touch
