Beach Day in January

The mind of the ondine 
      sends sprouting 
            mountains of surf
      onto the low tide glass

Where thereoms collide
                            and play,
      lines of argument 
             intersect
                  and form shapes
      in response to sea facts.

Oh but we're beckoned in
               to the play,
                              to go in it
         with breakers
                              and spray,

To know we are known
                   and that our
         seemingly random
                        offerings 
              to nowhere
     are part of the tide,

And to sense their pride 
              that we know
      they are there
              needing, like any 
                                  heart,
                      to be known.

The shore is a still pool 
                      now
       from here, pulling in
                 the emptiness
                                of sky.

What needed to be
               conveyed
                                was,
               nothing is left
               to be said.
