Analysis of Sunset Beach, And I.
Teresa Whitney 1951 (Tacoma)
Walking out across the sands,
Days sun begins to set,
In the distance a ship crosses,
Splashed I am, and wet,
Seagulls fly across the sky,
I am watching as their wings flap,
Engulfed within the cool breeze,
I set upon mother earths lap,
Brushing my hair to one side,
A smile embraces my face,
I remove ever so gently,
My satin robe, and lace,
Naked to the world am I,
Reborn a newness I find,
Deep within my body, and soul,
Refreshened spirit in kind.
