A Moment as Sanctuary

Familiar, wispy ringlets floating in an ocean breeze,
Feathered locks of auburn framing the face of a newfound friend,
Tendrils dark and heavy with seawater cling to a slender neck,
Tiny fingers intertwine, friends in a moment, memories of a lifetime
Shimmering grains of sands, cascading over pink toes,
Treasures of shells and sparkling eyes,
Giggles and exclaims floating out to sea,

The wholeness of joy delivered.
