Clearing, cleansing 

Where The Crawdads Sing

crashing waving, crashing surely

not drowning yet 

Tumultuous, throwing, 

coming assured

tired

twisting, waves 

swollen one ocean salty 

seized tidal 

twice daily seas, 

weeds, rays, hooked, 

an ebb flow, true swamp, 

rise fall 

as an ill old, ill fitting old snowy man 

seized inn, 

seas in,

Rum Run old man of The Seize

eyes fallen, 

heave ho, lead ho, 

grabbed glory inn seized stolen moments

old man of ill fitting 

ancient snowy tops, see

sea, si si a used red well jacket, 

type cast, rod rampant, attached anchor

a well used 

a discarded ancient wrapper, 

plastic magnetic attraction, 

attach 

meants, attack shacked up, 

no car white van fished monger, a hunger, 

chained performative plaice meants

filleted phish, boned gutted

second hand scales a flotsam 

a jetsam, junk

drained chained side walked streamed

dragged a long inn long nets long faces

side walk loud 

talk assured catch attached hauled

usunder, drink drunk sounds sail ore?

inn cobbled stoned stealth 

anchored augured 

minnows meagre, 

as yet another 

eagre earnest inn beau tox 

attached attack 

sub mariners under sieze

searching seaman, 

torpedos aweigh fast tearing metal 

hull holed 

ripped inn a ripe red jacket

pearlescent, ahoy, 

dives down, a buoy, 

dives down bubbles up, 

sunk sea, tired tides, 

leaden leash 

her marred maids 

her chained anchor hands

her fathoms shallow scared scarred,

yet 

two, yet finely attached two 

one deathly dearth, cutting cords inn

raiders, 

Via Kings, long faces long boats

row row row me heart tease, 

rapacious, reaping 

a locked heart grimly groping

Inn a keyless frozen frigid

in an ark ticked 

a predictable serve ice, 

a tight shallow maid on, 

seizes ill man tired inn red ribbons

her them hymn both

empty trenchant 

briny hulk now resting, 

rusted wasted sharp barnacles rising,  

callow coral 

she cuts threw blood moon like

a sharp sharded green gilled galleon

a once treasured holy 

a healed hull

now murmuring, a gain, 

now maid, a gain, 

now new fish tales inn snowy man

red jackets new rackets, 

fish wives 

gang hooked, 

mincing marinating fine burly 

smelly bait

raw prawns catching on, 

white bait, finest

fingerlings

circle dark squid ink 

white wasted 

pointers

empty vacant, 

once fine lined, now vacuous 

clown fish, clowns cry arrived, 

now empty, 

empty like sieged Troy

and northern waters stormed Bastilles

wasted wanton willing now

flaunting a fluent new fish 

fly buy, mongers, marauding, 

a fly bye one Knight

buy won get won free?

arks arcs as 2 bye 2

No Ahs, No asks?

animals paired animals mated

once deliciously decorated 

now empty, 

in her 

still adored still treasured,

empty sunken, locked tight 

Inn Her Now Swallowed whole 

heart beating old man red finely still,

Beating In Her 

Now Cherished Chest.

People get offended by many things when they are insecure:

you are not poor because millionaires exist,

you are not unpopular because good-looking people exist,

you are not average because smart, talented people exist.

You are the sum total energy

of your parents,

of your lessons learned,

your dynamic individuation

and innate continuing curiosity.

Core values matter;

The Foundations matter,

consistency, consideration, integrity, resilience

and astute informed actions.

Like energy attracts like energy

Be The Joyous light hearted and magnetically attract a well lit match

made right here,

grounded, fully, holy, totally as it is In Heaven,

On This Wonder Full Place Named

Earth.
