Inconsolable summers…. I think of my past… I think of children’s shouts mixing with waves… I feel the warm sand singing under my feet and I see crabs building up under seaweeds, I see gulls going away with the sun which goes to bed in a fire, I smell the big perfumes of the earth crossing the horizon in baths of peace of mind…. Inconsolable summers… my Childhood exists for ever… [This message has been edited by 2islander2 (09-07-2008 07:08 AM).] |

Much enjoyed the visuals in this and this line ... --------------------------------------------- I feel the warm sand singing under my feet --------------------------------------------- I loved it. I know that song and dance and love the way the sand just wraps around the feet when the surf lends a caress along the shoreline. |

This is a beautiful piece of nostalgia and I am certain that many others share the same feelings about theire childhood. Well done for producing such a little but shining gem. Do not go gentle into that good night. |

Thank you Mark, I can only tell it in french : ce sont de sacrés souvenirs (these are wonderful memories), I'm glad you enjoyed the poem and perhaps remembered such moments on a beach.... regards yann |

Thank you David, you totally gripped it, a piece of nostalgia indeed, but such wonderful memories....The life of a child on a beach without thinking, just enjoying the sun, the sand, the flavours, the sound of the sea, the presence of the family, there is a kind of eternity in such moments.... thanks again for your comment.... yann |

Je suis enchantée d'avoir été invitée dans de tels sacrés souvenirs. Pendant quelques instants j'étais une enfant sur la plage sous le soleil sans soucis. Merci beaucoup, Yann. - Owl |

chère Owl, je suis vraiment content que le poème t'es fait rêver quelques instants, quand j'y pense maintenant ces moments étaient extraordinaires....L'insouciance a quelque chose de divin et les enfants ont des bonheurs insouciants....Je te remercie du fond du coeur pour ton commentaire.... yann |
