 Pacific Walking I want to walk the Pacific again not necessarily to live there, but to breath the air and hear the sound that they try to replicate on tape but somehow the gulls seem fake and I want to walk the Pacific again Years and years and then some time ago I walked the beach and felt the wave, plucked the shells up from beached grave before they cracked and were crushed to dust, and I was one with the water and the salt and remember the thought ~ I want to walk the Pacific again grainy Pismo sand under my feet, Redondo beach was warm and sweet with first kiss and first love and honeyed moments in the fog ~ I want to walk the Pacific again western breezes flung my hair to strips of ribboned gold, sun brought freckles to my face, and I knew God had broke the mold slender of stance I faced the test of beast moved east nothing is like a western beach, the sound the waves the surf nothing can take me back to yesterday but I still hold on for all its worth I want to walk the Pacific again and hear the pound in my heart the crashing waves along the rocks and the magnificence it imparts salt of sea is calling me to walk the Pacific again. 23 December 2000 Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

Kari love this is an absolutely tremendously wonderful piece from you. I could see it all, there we were both walking along. Well you were walking I was doing what I always do, running back and forth with seashells and stuff. Generally acting like a child, so no change there then! Oh how much I miss the sea, it's sight it's sound and the aroma, which I adore. I really and truly love this one, absolutely perfect love. Take care Majestic Marsha  Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Marge, for some reason, and I say this with all humility, but I do believe my muse has come to stay, and if it ever leaves, I shall never complain for the gifts of the now... Ethome, your compliments are sincere, this I know...thank you Sir.... Koko, when next you walk on the beach, pick up a shell for me, will you please? I think I shall know when you do... Marsha, you walk with me often...and that is all I can say love...thank you... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |
