Ruth

 

ALONG THE OCEAN I STAND ON A HIGH SAND DUNE AND LOOK OUT OVER THE TREMBLING WAVES.

I SENSE THEIR RESTLESSNESS, THEIR RHYTHM, THEIR INCEPTION AND THEIR RESOLUTION.

 I ENTER THE TUMBLING SURF, AND I AM EMBRACED BY ITS WARM COOL CARESSES. I FEEL THE TUMULTUOUS PASSION OF ITS SURGING, AND THE CLIMAX OF ITS RECESSIONS.

 THEN, AS I WALK IN SILENT CONTENTMENT AT THE DAMP DRY EDGE OF THE SAND AND WATER I REALIZE THAT MY IMMERSION IN THE PASSION OF YOU IS BEST APPRECIATED WHEN I STAND APART, UPON A PENSIVE HEIGHT, AND REGARD THE BEAUTY OF YOUR SOUL.
