I see the water meet the sky’s edge 
I expand, here.
I take in what's changed
what's remained. 

I remember the moments 
I came to her shore 
seeking something other 
than what was,
seeking answers. 

Today
I come to her 
with a new request. 

Her waves sing 
and I ask for witness
as I recognize 
my own growth. 

I seek her 
expanding memory 
so that when I forget
she’ll remind me
 
that tides change 
and so do I.
