. The lake’s waves wash over Our footprints in the sand Gulls from very far away Gyre over dunes under a Clear blue sky I watch you searching For colored stones along The shore which I then Carry in a war surplus bag As I follow just behind You couldn’t care less How much I love the sea Your long blond hair Fanning in a summer breeze Boats tied up at dock Rise and fall under a yellow sun A young beautiful golden retriever I should have known it at the time . |

This poem seems to start as a van Gogh painting... and then it abruptly turns personal. As it should be, from a true poet. |

Waves on the shore, stone picking and the summer breeze! I am wishing for a beautiful summer full of new discovery with old friends. I really enjoyed reading this. ~Wolf |

It's been a very long time since I walked along the beach and looked at the small treasures to gather there. I love the sea as well, in all her moods and mysteries, but especially on a cerulean day with someone to share it. I could see this so clearly, and was touched at the twist, too. ~K |
