for Janet

Upon the shoring sands,
a message on the beach
made with carving stick.

"Thank you, Mark."

A mention to a saint
dragged through cutting streets?
A stab of the surreal,
thanking letters' forms?

Does someone bear that name
near this plain of sand?

The water does not share
and fades the mystery.

==============================

yeppers...my bestest beach buddy claims that name  

Mikey... yer so kewl ...

thank you to you too...your genuine joy of my getting to see the ocean is so sweet...
I know you understand...your poetry of the ocean serves proof.

No one has ever shown me how to see the world the way I see it now ...
and I never saw blue like that before.

bsquirrel,
methinks this imprint on sand will last for eons.
Kethry

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

Janet,
The picture that touched me the most
was the moth "butterfly slippers" stencil
being lapped at by the waves.

But I couldn't get a poem out of it.
Thanks again for sharing so much of yourself.

Kethry,
Thank you.
I had fun with this poem,
even if it doesn't seem so.

Mikey

Mikey I am sure this touched both JM and Mark as much as it did me.  There is no greater bond than love and friendship, and you have shown yours for JM through your words.  Lovely write.
