footprints
on the beaches
of the beat

a Hawaiian chant
echoes the old ones
on sandlewood shores

in this universe  of verse
there are many beaches
many blues to be sung

the mingle of inscence
of the east
and sage of the west

mingle in smoke
verses on the wind
we are one

leaving
our footprints behind
and our essence

on the wind
to the mountains
and other high places
