Transformation

I dreamed pale buds  of beach heather; the scent of brine borne on sea breezes. I strolled pale sands, hot beneath callused heels, filling my pockets with pink and yellow toenail shells, and sometimes with  prized bits of sea glass, polished, tumbled, opaque. I followed always that same safe, twisting  trail of kelp and broken shell where land transforms, and oceans begin. No more! Bring me your raging seas, your frothy waves, your pelting rains. I am grayed, tumbled, toughened. Like driftwood, I will weather.

Additional Notes:
Memories of Cape Cod, blended with 'attitude'--I think the result of age, and (hopefully) life experience...
