Summary:
Keith moves through the phases of his life, just as the tide rolls over the shores, bringing with it the various things taken and ultimately returned to him.
[Written for the @keithzine2018 ]
The ocean here breathes life. Its waves wash over golden sands, this steady pulse of water meeting earth, as if Mother Nature herself has come to remind him that all things break down, all things are renewed, that all life persists.
Over and over again, the ocean sings.
Over and over, Keith listens to its song. Because some things end while others begin, and still some run as constant as Time throughout his life. The universe has dared to declare the starting point of peace, complete with a hero’s welcome bundled up in a farewell and a moment, a true and honest moment, to call his own. Before him, the ocean stretches out endlessly toward the horizon; to his right, the beach unfurls itself beneath the sun. But to his left and at his back, red-streaked stone climbs up around him. The waves spill in through an opening along the shore, gliding into the cave with no more concern for intrusion than a cat has when it curls up in your lap.
He finds it an odd comfort.
The waves roll in. Keith breathes out.
Perhaps the world will keep fighting, and maybe they’ll be called back into the fray, but for now, there is simply this.
