The first sweet smells
Of a summers day complete
My memories of yesteryear
That have become clear to me.
Of walking on endless beaches
Whose sand is softly course
The winds that come over me
From the waves off-shore.
Of sunsets I watched alone
And thoughts of inner peace
That strange sort of personal triumph
I seem to crave again.
To what I have lived
This life that yearns to shred
My hopes, my love, my sweet dreams
Or my wonderful sense of dispair.
So to summers first smell I say
Bring on what you can give
But leave my heart and soul alone
Let them fly amongst the wind.

it seems so sad , yet at the same time hopeful.

Oh .... when we walk the beaches of our minds -
What treasures we find - enjoyed this !

I enjoyed reading this...it reminded me of a few years ago when I lived in Long Beach and I had a girlfriend in Santa Monica so I hung out with her there...I liked the pier and the promenade...the street performers...the restaurants...didn't care for the beaches that much...Huntington and Newport beaches were much nicer...James
