teach me

I come to you as often as a can
and I admit it is rather rare
I make it to the shore
but when you greet me with a sea fan
I know I will stay here
glad to talk with the best teacher
about the lessons needed for a life plan
and you will teach me about patience
about persistence and resilience
about the need to storm at times
to get above the ground of laziness and lies
the waves, the wind the salt
that impregnates whatever come to close
they all have a few words to tell:
that I belong once I am there.
