IRON SAND I gave my heart to you over a decade ago when you seduced me with your mystical energy and black sand beauty. You supported me in my own real-life love story and played a big part in both big and small celebrations and milestones. You shared tears with me when I was homesick, and you provided a place of relief when I felt too pregnant to be anywhere else. You were there for me with your embracing vast beaches, giving me space to think and feel the sand beneath my feet. I come to you in joy and in sorrow to reset my ions, release tension, and enjoy everything that nature has to offer, but now it is you that need caring and comfort.
