lantern lights teeter like tots on a totter
softly swiveling in moonlit breezes
ocean waves lapping the beach
swirling in cascades of sand

moon glistens as palm trees listen
to the conch-like sounds of persistence
gentle softness, gentle softness, gentle softness
caressing, encircling, cycling

ebbing the tide in tremors of suppleness
bidding the sky to touch its hem
curves and lines blending their hues in
photo prints of kaleidoscope colors

...still waters...
painted on canvasses of sand

oh my, how softly beautiful this is....this is lovely Steven, an excellent write from your pen sir.  This touches the senses...wonderful.....

seek the flame within yourself
and let your soul be cleansed by
the fire of love.  Axel Ekenstierna

I adore how YOU paint ... I want to go there right now, to this place you have so beautifully captured in this piece.  Darnit!  It is snowing here ... again.

always seeking joy, adventure and romance and wishing you find the same

Oh...one of the most beautiful poems I have ever reverberated.
What imagery to think in.

Nature surely seduces me. I felt like this poem amplified that. Well done.

"still waters...
painted on canvasses of sand"

I could stare at that for hours.
