Word from the Changemaker

i feel the hot sand under my feet,
i see the ocean crystal clear.
i hear the gulls and pelicans sing
and wonder how much longer will this be here?

when the sun sinks the sand is cool,
the cordgrass rustling in the breeze.
the moon shines reflecting off the dunes
as wonder how much longer this will be here.

the sun rises,
the sky cotton candy pink.
as gentle waves crash the shore,
i hope this stays here forever more.
