Imagine a Woman

Imagine a Woman
standing still
at the shoreline,
wrapped in the
seasalted blankets
of this world's
oldest ocean.
Seagulls circle
her coral colored
lips as she whispers
the sacred stories
of each lifetime
she's already lived:
driftwood confessions
woven with
sand dollars
and gifted back
to the Earth
that raised her.
