SECRET BEACH HIKE
The beach is hidden but beckoning ,
the rocks are rough and welcoming,
the sun is high but nourishing ,
the air is tasteful and free ,
the trees are bare but fertile ,
the sky is open and endless ,
the water is inviting but cold,
the wildlife is curious and shy,
the path is clear but unmarked
and nature guides my way
as Mother Earth welcomes me home.
