We all have longings that permeate our minds, Call them fantasies, call them dreams, they are there; Scenes played out in imagination many times o'er, Taking us away from the realities we're called on to bear. I, in my longings, walk along the ocean's edge, The cool spray falling on my uplifted face; My footprints disappear just as quickly as my dreams, Washing away..I watch them vanish without a trace. I feel the foam swirling 'round my ankles, now Becoming entangled in seaweed..it quickly withdraws; The ocean smell invades my nostrils, as my breathing Becomes deeper..my inner being soothed by its laws. No other place on earth, in my mind, would suffice Than where God's great power is so evidently seen; The mighty ocean beckons to me, time after time Returning..my mind becomes renewed once again. All dreams must end, my longings I lock away in my heart, Until the next time I allow them to have full rein; When life becomes stale and I need to be refreshed, I will escape to my ocean..and my dreams once again.

Yep we all have dreams and love this  Don't ever give in, if you do you've lost everything you've ever had and everything you hope to gain, but if you carry on your already winning. |

Twilah; This is so beautiful and I feel as if you have just echoed my innermost thoughts! I too feel closest to God by the sea and sometimes it is His gift to give us wild imaginary dreams to ease the pain. Love, Ellie A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails. |

Moondust, thank you for your comment...I am a dreamer at heart, I think...... Ellie...I have written most of my poetry by the water....be it the ocean or just a quiet lake. God knows me so well...and I do feel his presence so much more at times like that. I am glad that this poem touched you...you seem like such a special lady.....Thanks for your comment....Twilah (Gloria) |

There is such therapy in many ways, being near the ocean and able to walk along it's shore. I try to spend some time every year on the Oregon Coast. I know your oocean must be equally beautiful. Betty Lou Hebert |

I have not spent a great deal of time near large shores, but they always make me feel at home, close to life. Such has been in the fore of my thoughts lately. This was a perfect read at the perfect time. One's not half two it's two are halves of one EE Cummings |
