Every once in a while I slip my soul into the tide pools of my memories And find your warmth there……………… Swirling around me Every once in a while Thoughts of you wash over me And I am swept away……………………… Caught up in the tides of reminisce Every once in a while On the shores of "I remember when" I find your footsteps in the sand ………………………And trace them back to my heart ~SEA~ |

SEA, This is beautiful! Does he know that you still think fondly of him? Your poem is so appropriate for me right now; I have recently heard from a long-lost lover. These past weeks have been a sometimes difficult roller coaster ride between reminiscing about old times and being reminded of the inescapable present. Thank you for capturing what it is like to think of her again.  ) |

No, he is a dear friend, but he is much too busy with his life to remember me......I've given up on ever hearing from him again......and this is just part of healing that. I still think of him and miss him, but that's it.......thanks  -SEA |

SEA~ Of course you were aware I would find this one - and love it ! ! And I do ! 'Every once in a while On the shores of "I remember when" I find your footsteps in the sand ………………………And trace them back to my heart' More than once in my life - I've traced those footprints - and found such a pleasant sand castle of memories that had not crumbled. Just lovely, SEA~ ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

SEA, I am beginning to wonder where I left these footsteps. I have been searching for them for years. I knew they were in someone's heart somewhere. HMMMMMM! Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love (Daniel J D) |

I think we all have times when we feel like this but just didn't know how to say it and then you come along and do it so wonderfully for us. This was done very tenderly and lovely and I am glad that I found it this morning. |

SEA, those "every once in a whiles" are hard to get through, but you've put a positive tone to a difficult thing, recollection. |
