It means “Good luck”.
I spent some time there a while ago,
With water and sand rushing between my toes.
...
Don't fault yourself
for approaching life passionately.
It would be much like the moon not rising.
...
Windy day, trees bent
Some are stretching out their arms
Leaving leaves to fall
...
I never needed to be here.
I never wanted to be heard.
I never spoke about that time in the mountains,
Or the way I felt when he looked at me.
...
Sometimes it’s like a dam, broken by a flood.
At times it surprises me, and others, I think.
It is a gift, I suppose,
An opportunity to live boldly-to laugh, to learn.
...

It means “Good luck”.
I spent some time there a while ago,
With water and sand rushing between my toes.
I cried when I first got there for the beauty.
Migratory birds passing through along the shore,
As did the weather and other creatures, too.
Migratory vagrants, some veterans,
Fishing on the docks, sleeping in the reeds,
Holding signs and begging for change.
I liked it there.
My luck wasn’t bad,
But I didn’t stay there long either.
