Don&#039;t only practice your art, but force your way into its secrets, for it and knowledge can raise men to the divine.<br /> -Ludwig van Beethoven

The cadence
hypnotizes me as the
sand sifts, surrounding
my toes.

Feet cold, face hot, and
still I stare at the sun shining,
hardly higher than the horizon.
That blued blur of water and
sweeping sky calms me.
Quiets me.

This thundering, crashing lullaby
is meant for dreamers and children,
So I listen to it more than most;
I am a dreamer and a child.
