when i shared this music with a friend named Sandi, for her,  it immediately evoked a memory
from her past. a true story ,, and to me, an almost mystical experience.  after  you read it, i wonder
if you too will ponder as i did,,,, about this man and his significance and if  Sandi will admit to
hearing...... that day,  a brief whisper of Angel wings.
 
 



 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

I was depressed and felt the need to go
to the beach. My friends drove me to
the beach and dropped me off.
It was a gray day,
the sky was gray, the ocean was
gray, my mood was gray.
 
I walked along the beach for a bit
then I sat down on the almost
deserted beach.  A short time later
a guy came walking along.
He had a sleeping bag
wrapped around him.
 
He sat down beside me.
We exchanged no words, we both
just watched the sea.
After awhile, I became aware he
had draped the sleeping bag
across our chilled shoulders.
Then he lit a cigarette and we
smoked it, still gazing across the
water, never saying a word.
 
A bit later, he stood up,
smiled down at me and
silently wandered off
down the beach.
 
I watched his path for a few
moments,
looked back to the sea,
took a deep breath,
I knew I was OK,
I too, went on my way.
