Dignity

by Christine Holden
(UK)

The house with the sea view
Envied by many
For what price?
Waking to the whisper of the waves
Shutters springing open
To welcome a rising sun
Feeling the salt on your face
Squinting at the infinite beyond
Limitless possibilities
And now?
We share the same view
A level playing field
Waking to the whisper of the waves
Feeling the salt on our faces
Tears.
