Effortless Dance by Devi Nina Bingham

The shell, its corkscrew daggers raging

Dusts the shelf, waiting

For a gaze to fall upon it

And make it shine.


The sand like bodies falling

Bows its million stars, crystalline

Giving into my weight

Sacrificing itself evermore.


The wind, a flute playing silently

Whips the leaf, scours my eyes

Moving like the ghost does

Nothing, and everything.


The wave, breaking like glass

On blue-green rollers where death lives

Says, come for a swim

Be mine.


The beach, a vast mirage,

mysterious water world

Crashing and clawing at the shore 

silently recedes

Answering to no one

It makes its own rules

The way we should.


How do I learn this effortless dance?
