Silver Sands You were there in misty mornings In the purple dawning haze In the Capricorn of summer On those hot and steamy days You were there on silver beaches In the yellow afternoon Where the sand turned into golden Just before the rising moon You were there when eveningstar Illuminated pathways on the crest Of the bay where sails of linen Billowedhomeward toward the west It was there beneath the Southern Cross Our paths met face to face At the crossroads of a youthful dream And splendors of a place On the waves of pure enchantment Looking back toward the town Of mosaic hillside houses Golden steeples on its crown We had sailed the crimson sunset Toward a destiny unsure In a Flying Dutchman’s vessel That was lost forevermore Now my eyes betray my vision In the sparkling morning frost Where I see the silver beaches And the golden love we lost |

Elizabeth, now my eyes betray the vision...what a perfect line as is the rest. Kethry Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

Very lovely! And when I read the lines: Where I see the silver beaches And the golden love we lost I think of God painting our life full of silver beaches and painting with gold to glow all of the love He gives us. Truly, all love is golden! And our jewelry chest should be full of love's jewels. -newell Sharing God's Love through perfectlovepoetry.com |

*sigh* I sighed with pleasure in the reading until the last when I felt the tears gather in my eyes....I pray love is not lost for you. **big hugs** Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |

You sure gifted me in my world of chaos of being a Gramma held captive this morning!  Thank you for some tranquility.~* Carpe' Diem *~ |

Love may be lost, but it has never been for naught. This is breathtaking, Elizabeth! Sure wish I could write like you too! |
