Sunset paints with golden fingers… Breaking waves sprinkled with diamonds, wash the sand from under her feet, where they are planted at ocean’s edge… Gulls fly overhead, soaking in the last golden rays of daylight… And…all is at peace in her world… She looks as far across the ocean as her human eyes can see, and wonders if he stands on some distant shore, looking back… Her sunset is his sunrise… Her night is his day… Still…all is at peace in her world… Her eyes look up to the heavens, and she feels the sun-tinted golden clouds rushing overhead in the sea breeze… Did his eyes behold the same clouds in his part of the world? Now…all is at peace in hers… A tear slips from her eye, and joins the salty pool below, while she tries to calm the tide of longing in her heart… Does he love as she? Does he need as she? She believes he does, and… All is at peace in her world… Darkness is swallowing up it’s last gulp of light, in anticipation of the rising globe it claims as it’s own… A shooting star appears in the distant sky, and she knows from whence it came… And…all is at peace in her world… This land, this ocean, this sky, these feelings, these thoughts... All are a part of the world in which she has to live… She looks up one more time, and whispers his name to a blinking star… Just as he whispers hers in the first glow of dawn… And…all is at peace in their world… Live...Love...Be grateful for both!! |

 Reading this reminded me of this picture that my girlfriend took while on vacation in Utah recently. Though I heve never been there it looks as peaceful as she describes it. |

What a wonderful word picture you have painted here Sunny a real thoughtful scene... good writing! I really like Jeffery's picture...it fits so well....take care! The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges. |

Kit... Thank you so much, and I do really appreciate your wonderful reply!! Sandra... I've stood by the ocean many times in my life. I find it strengthens my soul, and fills me with peace. Thank you, my friend!! Jeffrey... Oh, what a beautiful picture that is!! I have been to Utah many years ago, but I didn't realize that there were such beautiful places there!! It is the epitome of peace, I think.....thank you, and your friend for the lovely picture!! (I love images!!) ethome... Yes, it does fit so perfectly, doesn't it? This is what I had in mind for the feeling of open peacefulness that only Nature can give us. Thank you, also!! Live...Love...Be grateful for both!! |

Just as the caress of love shall forever find itself in the winds so shall the hearts that take the time to listen. Beautiful words sis and penned wonderfully and with the familiarity of your tender heart. Loved it much. |
