Slanting across the sand
where rays of sunlight beam
lying horizontally
braced against the breeze.

Brushing summer highlights
that comb along the shore
skirting underneath
lying in the curvature.

Rising with the tides
fanning out across the sea
basking warm in the rapport
turning tan lines over intimately.

(smiles) Yay!!! Oh Lori, I'm so delighted you submitted this, sweet friend, this is one of my favorites of yours because it always reminds me of the beach and how I long to move there and live there all the time so it can feel like a vacation everyday! (kiss on cheek) God Bless You, sweet friend, you have my sea-breeze vote, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Lori, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Quite a delectable scenario.  The images are stirring and quietly passionate.  And the lines just flow from tan to back again!  Very nice.

basking warm in the rapport
turning tan lines over intimately.


I've just come  back from a 4 day break in sunny Queensland.. doing just that. sniff I'm cold.

Glad you submitted this Blues.... it's beautiful and you have my vote
