Captured Bliss


On bluff above the ocean’s curl
a place of delicious wedding swirl
I watched the tide ebb with the day
and soaked in magic from sun rays

The bride in white was all a flutter
her mother set her gaze in utter
awe of scene beneath the knoll
where sea such magic display scrolled

The breeze so touched the gauze of veil
in graceful dance like ocean sails
that seabirds swooped to catch the view
of strapless gown and sling top shoe

This sparkling picture captured bliss
in a dance proceeding the wedding kiss
and from the sand to look above
was to look at just the start of love


 In the dew of little things,
the heart finds its morning
and is refreshed.
(ee cummings)

Martie-
You've done it again !
This time in rhyming verse ...
and very eloquently, I might add.
