This is the place where my heart returns
Among this seaside cliff that marks the end of the
Earth and extends the river of heaven to me
Here at this turquoise abyss
The ocean silt shimmers in dazzling golds
And waves that reach out in tormented peaks and crescents
Each capturing the light of the universe,
Push back against the earth, battering the edges of
Jagged black rocks cupped around this place
Like welcoming fingers
Here, where the road ends, without warning
And opens to this endless forever
Witnessed by a handful of cars with lovers mostly,
Who swallow tidbits of paradise in between
Slow moments of their shared pleasures
Finds me here at the dusk of my day on a singular journey,
Alone though not alone
Outward from the shadows jut tall pines and oaks
And shrieking birds glide and dance
Among the ocean currents as if nothing more needed to be known
Salty whispers from the welcoming ocean tease my hair
And brush my cheek with a trusting gentleness
That expects nothing
Behind me the ghostly roars of bears sound
Tracing their path here from the Los Osos valley
To this celestial gateway
The heart I have safely hidden in the soles of my shoes
Chills me and for a moment I shiver like the dancing pines
Here at the edge of the world, where eternity crashes into earth
The encircling bears sing their lament against their journey here
My soul returned to me, renewed and strong
Myself again

I like this line very much:
"The heart I have safely hidden in the soles of my shoes"
