Winded ... jogging the beach T-shirt sullied front to back kind of like ... Jack Frost at recess in the noonday sun ~ Pausing a moment at your approach huffing and puffing the pristine lakeside air I gaze rubbernecked at your breath-robbing stride ... avoiding surf while collecting glances ~ Enticing yet demure a picture framed with endless sand and crashing surf ~ So captivating ... your smiling glance triggers the sudden urge to flip driftwood with my idle foot ~ Sounds of surf fade beneath the pulse of my throbbing chest ~ Passing ... within a smile's length ~ Silence ... my one line arsenal still at home by the mirror ~ My fading opportunity swept clean like the waters erasing your steps ~ The drifting wood strikes my unguarded ankle ~ |

I love the beach scene, and the glance per chance. Trying to catch your breath never read so well. Wouldn't you know the dog gone driftwood, would trip you up!! Typical! (not you, me)  Really enjoyed your light hearted poem. |

How many times have we kicked ourselfs for not making or taking that ever important first step. Been there, done that, and have wondered many, many times what could have been. Cool poem, Tracey, oh, and remember, The answer is always NO, Until the question is asked. |
