I'm so far away from beach towel days
though my gaze down the canyon
in my viewfinder stays
on the old comfortable seat
of some beat up van
where I sit with the sun
listening to insects hum
and kids on the playground almost complete
a belief that sand is sifting beneath my feet

Where the ocean curls so far away now
I can almost hear it in the breeze through the sunflowers
drained dry and brittle and sinking into seeds
where birds tweet and treat delirious with time

I can stay the past
with seagulls play and the sweet salt air
burning in my reverie
then turn away like summer does
away away to the rolling motion
of tides suck and release
a tease to the wiggle of toes
like these
on an old comfortable seat
of some beat up van
where I sit with the sun
grateful I am

I know wherefrom the seed of this...
I'm glad it bloomed so very well,
so quickly!

You expressed this strong longing so intensely, dear Martie. It's good to BE and to be grateful to BE.

Wonderful imagery.

Love,

Sissie...You were the first to know.

Belle...a pleasure to see you

Lori...I know how you appreciate ocean and sand, memories or not..I do too.

Amaryllis...I hope it's away to a place you want to go. Thanks so much.

Ron...Always a pleasure to read your replies.

EBM...I'm pleased you enjoy. Perhaps I'll write more. I'm not a poem a day girl like I used to be.

Margherita...Indeed it is!!
