 [photo taken by a friend on tour] The charms of strolling by a sandy shore emerge shyly with the soft hues of sea and clouds mountains rising sheer beyond the distant blue nature's miracles looking for a place to land. Nothing on earth distracts me from my walk no master do I have to hurry me away a deserted beach may look bleak to some for me I welcome the smell of salt and water. My shoulders are bowed with guilt I carry like chains I drag them around in my mind but here I can expunge them with no shame forgive myself to face my demons with fresh eyes. Bare feet on sand and a lightness to my step I prance and dance to the audience of the waves a silent symphony only I can hear a ballet rendition only I can applause. I am loathe to leave and go back to my world this place dry and treeless devoid of habitation like one when creation must have first began I shall enjoy with pleasure, slow and unhurried @jjote 03/01/2017 |

Superb thoughts as the horse makes is way through the sandy beach. Many people have the same thoughts, perchance do you, jjote? ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |
