Hello, sand. I wriggle my toes in and around you.

Hello, sun. I turn my face toward you.

Hello, waves. I follow your sound to and fro, to and fro.

Hello, breath. I’ve missed you.

Hello, belly. I feel your clenching and I release you.

Hello, heart. Hello, hello, hello.

Hello, tears. I’ve been waiting for you.

Hello, Beloved Friend. I bow my head and my heart to you.
