Summer skirts the horizon leaving a ripple of waves palms bend and sway beneath leafy shadows diffusing the heat shifting sands simmer to a warm topaz blending into cool gray sighs. Drifting wood widdles away worn and smooth sea shells fade to pastel shades natures beauty lies adrift like soft cotton caressing the shapeless wind. Calm passes in the silent stillness a whispered hush hangs in the breeze beneath a crescent moon rising twilight settles low in the tangerine sky. Moved by the endless turning of tides and the string of memories left behind. |

Ida, it is always a pleasure to hear from you, thanks so much. Stay cool, this California weather we are having is a tad too hot, to say nothing of my electric bill.  [This message has been edited by BluesSerenade (07-25-2016 05:46 PM).] |

Soothing, and a joy to read. I'll finish my last glass of wine, and read again. |

Four lovely poems for the price of one. Each as a 'single' or arranged as an 'LP', they all sound great. Loving Linny Jean is poetry. |
