Tidepools

Coffee on her nightstand
Mom whispers my name
She says we should go right now
No one else awake

Reaching for my swim trunks
Feel them cool and damp
Sliding on my new flip flops
Crusted salt and sand

Palm trees on the freeway
Silhouettes at dawn
Blue-gray backdrop, ocean dark
Headlights in the fog

Wind caught in our t-shirts
Thousand steps to go
Sea salt on my nose and cheeks
She says she is home
Sea salt on my nose and cheeks
She says she is home

Barefoot over bedrock
Tidepools on the strand
Mom is right beside me now
Holding out her hand

Seashells in my pocket
Center of my life
I will come to know the world
One piece at a time
