"This" - poem and photograph

*
This


Breath water air
salt sea salt
sky.

Humans cannot reproduce this vision
even a photograph doesn't capture
the intense light through water soaked clouds
reflections ricochet on molecules
above and below and surround
waves running over each other to reach
the sand birds approach and retreat
sky darkens light breaks through.
Beginnings and endings.

Naked
feet
sink
cold and wet.
Smile.

This.
