Wind, Sand, Water

I sit on the jetty
Looking out to sea,
Wind blowing sand,
Pelting, cutting me.

I sit on the jetty
Looking out to sea,
Wind blowing water
Coldly soaking me.

I sit on the jetty
Looking out to sea,
Wind, sand, water
Whittle away at me.

I sit on the jetty
Looking out to sea
Wind blowing cobwebs,
Slowly cleansing me

I sit on the jetty
Looking out to sea,
Wind, sand, water
Purifying me.

I sit on the jetty
Looking out to sea
Wind, sand, water:
The elements set me free.
