A sleek white seagull swoops silently over gently crested waves, as a lone sandpiper scours the frothy seafoam for a late afternoon snack. The pulsating sun that warmed the sand for my curious digging toes has serenely slipped over horizon's edge, leaving in its wake a warm caressing persimmon glow. The sheer magic of a coastal sunset envelopes me completely. For a brief moment, all angst and misery that encircles the globe is but a fleeting bad dream. As the sea releases each breath of fresh air, tranquility prevails. |

. . . oops! I have just woken up to the fact that I am not on the beach! Love it, Kacy, especially the part about the toes in the sand - thought it was me! Your seashore muse certainly came to the party. You can't imagine how well timed it was for me. Tranquility is something I like lots of. I am looking forward to more of your holiday poems. - Owl |

A sleek white seagull swoops silently and she sells sea shells. I thought we were headed for a tounge twister. Instead a tranquil twist on the tounge. |

Thanking each of you for your time and comments. I was fortunate to have one full week on the Pacific coast visiting my daughter, with superb weather the entire time. Tongue twister, eh? LOL, I hadn't considered that. [This message has been edited by Midnitesun (09-18-2008 02:13 PM).] |

 Thank you, Bob. The waves make their own alliteration notes, I just try to imitate them. |

Kacy, I am so glad that Bruce brought this back up to the top. Do you think he sensed how much I needed this poem tonight. Your words and images do bring me a sense of tranquility - and, even more, I smile when I think of you. I am so glad that you are recovering and able to post now and then. You are a most beautiful lady. Love, Alison |

I also agree with Bruce that this is a very calming write and needs to be kept floating for awhile. Hoping you are able to feel all the warmth and wishes sent to you.  M |
