Beach Rose

I am going to try the Alphabet Challenge, so today's blip is B.

The beach roses are so pretty and I admire their hardiness in an otherwise harsh location. They don't seem to be bothered by the usual things that make roses so difficult to grow. The beach and ocean to me is nurturing and renewing, much like the love of those we are closest to.

love builds up the broken wall

and straightens the crooked path.

love keeps the stars in the firmament

and imposes rhythm on the ocean tides

each of us is created of it

and i suspect

each of us was created for it"
