Beach Days

It's been a long time now, for me,
Since I could stroll beside the sea.
I close my eyes and I am there.
The breeze is salty, warm and fair.
The breakers crash with thunderous roar
Against the rocks and fall once more
Into the surging tidal flow.
It is a scene I love and know.
I think about the days gone by,
When I lived there and though I try,
I can't recall a favorite day.
They all were special in some way!
And while I'm dwelling in the past,
Trying to make this moment last,
Then I am taken unaware,
When I can see my shadow there!

As I sit here looking over the desert floor your words make the beach somehow very close. Such a delight to read.

Dinah:  I lived in the high desert country of Nevada for a number of years and pined for the ocean! Writing about it sometimes brings it closer!
Thanks for your comments.
