DEDICATION: WHITE HORSE BEACH ACCESSIBILITY PATH<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We who know
The sea\u2019s beauty
Have a simple duty:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sharing our entry
To immortal afternoons
On sand by water;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ideal sunlit hours
When identity melts
And we can merge<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With air & light
Simply existing.
Let\u2019s go all together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s enable everyone
To grow beyond limits
Set by our bodies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This diminutive desert
Does not have to be
Impossibly impassible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can give each
A path to reach
Their very own beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why we lay
This way to the waves
From sidewalk to tide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So may it serve
& may it dissolve
The distance to joy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
