The Ebb Of You ~*Marge Tindal*~ Waves caress the sandy shore Rolling over footprints we left Lapping your memories gently at my feet Ripples of your lost love leaves me bereft Waters flowing against the current Everlasting pull of the ebbing tide Returning to pound my heart As the first wave of you bids me goodbye ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

This is lovely, Marge... and reminds me of so many walks along the beach... where only a portion of the salt water that dampened me was from the waves. *S* |

I read you Marge - I always enjoy - but some - like this - are so very exceptional - they deserve accolades beyond my power to write - Please accept my wish that you see my paltry words in that light |

No T-shirt!!!!!!!! talk about an ebb tide. Reminds me of the Righteous Brothers and now I know why they hit those high notes. "Every man dies. Not every man truly lives." Braveheart Kathleen |

This is so touching, Marge. Too bad we can't hold back those waves from erasing those footprints. HUGS Denise |

Marge this is wonderful. Where we winter in Texas, we are right on the water. The sound of the waves washing the shore is great! Lovely, lovely, Mother E |

Now this is one of those times I want to say "Aw Margie" but I have never seen anyone call you "Margie" and I don't want to corrupt the whole crowd, but "aw Margie!"... this tore at my heart! |

Have you noticed that the tide always comes back again. The trick is for the same wave to catch you by the ankles on it's return trip. Beautifully written my friend and so like you to make me draw on some of my own memories. I love it when you write like this. |

Margie girl, This is really beautifully written, and it really tugs at my heart, which is feeling rather too tender at the moment. Take care love Mushy Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |
