THE WALK

With the steadiness of a heartbeat
the gentle waves lapped against the shore.
Feeling cool against the summer heat,
giving hope of relief, nothing more.

The delicate sand held our footprints;
a temporary sign that we exist.
The late sunset held a rosy tint,
as over the water rolled a mist.

From all of this beauty came a song,
flowing within us played on heartstrings.
Feelings like these could never be wrong,
relishing the comfort that they bring.

In that moment we truly were one.
A love as glorious as the sun.

For an unabashed ‘incurable Romantic’
like me, this ‘write’ is most grand-fine
(quintessential) “Romanticism”!

Superb ‘imagery’…
I especially LOVED:

“The delicate sand held our footprints;
a temporary sign that we exist.
The late sunset held a rosy tint,
as over the water rolled a mist.”

MUCH long-sustained applause!!
