softly misted ocean breezes br strolled through her hair, br a million grains of sand between her toes. br the song she lifted on her voice br bespoke despair. br unwilling circumstance had interposed br br something like a shadow's passing br among the words; br which otherwise rang true as any bell. br yet brightly sang she gentle verses; br the pain unheard, br except to soul that knew the feeling well. br br slowly laying fragile body br upon the sand, br a childhood whim possessed her, suddenly. br and moved both arms and legs about, so br when she did stand, br she left an angel there to bless the sea.
