Sitting on our rocky seat The sea was whispering at our feet We rolled in sand played in surf Gave our all for what it’s worth Counted starfish looked for shells Skimmed the stones on breaking swells You teased me that my hair was long And I recited a Dylan song I picked up my old guitar But with jumbled chords I didn’t get far But the tune we sang Was ours to keep And satisfied we fell asleep And then when we were dreaming….still You came to meet me on that hill We sat there saw a shooting star Across the sky a lightning scar You held my hand and then I knew I had to spend my life with you I ran my hand through sand strewn hair Held you close to say I care The night was clear…. balmy warm We could conquer any storm In your eyes I saw the moon Reflection pools of days in June Oh to kiss your honey lips To gently stroke your finger tips Sparkling shivers in my spine When we shared that love filled wine I often dream and I know you do Of that fine summer when we were two Free spirits there upon that beach Nothing then was out of reach Our dreams were huge….Like Young dreams are And when I see a shooting star My memory is like a film replay It warms my heart and fills my day With love so great there is no place Where it could hide Without a trace Perhaps the summer is no more But I know now..... the dream I saw Has once and for all…. set me free And is standing right in front Of me Jon Mewett [This message has been edited by Jon Mewett (edited 08-07-2000).] |

I don't know exactly why but this poem reminded me of my girlfriend of long ago Nancy Daughter...we were taking a romantic walk on the beach and a large bouy washed to shore so we rolled it onto the sand and when the sand stuck to it we wrote love letters on the side...I went home very satisfied knowing that in the morning the whole city would know that I Love Nancy...James |

"The sea was whispering at our feet" Jon, I found many engaging lines here, this was just one of them...such a tender way to express your love. ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |
