I wrote this one just after finishing my undergraduate degree, not knowing where I was heading next. Hang on a minute, I still don't know!
THE LIMINAL (12 February, 2004)
The beach beckons
The shoreline calls
Not quite sea
Not quite land
The choice is in that space.
Swim on forever out to sea?
Or walk up to the coffee shop?
(for a double chocolate mocha)
People for miles
All looking for answers,
None of them knowing it.
I could stand up and tell them all!
Or I could swim out to sea.
When they're ready, they'll see for themselves
The liminality of everyday
Of everyman.

I love this poem. You have captured the essence of the shore and that feeling that everything can change as we gaze out over the ocean. Of course most of the time we settle for the coffee shop.
I've enjoyed all of your poetry very much indeed,
Pam
