Moving Forward
Thomas Bond 1962 (LA)
April 24As I walk along the sand I feel a need to turn around. As I turn around I see waves crashing then calm again, waves crashing then calm again. As my toes sink forward in the sand I feel a need to back again. No, not this time as so many times before. As I turn around again I see a moon lit horizon shining off a boundless see and as beautiful as this seems to me Moving Forward is the only place to be.
