 Pacific Walking I want to walk the Pacific again not necessarily reside, but my lungs require salty inspire to breath its air hear great foggy horns and crying gulls, that they try to replicate on tape but somehow those gulls seem fake I want to walk the Pacific again Years became decades, in times gone I walked my beach felt its wave, plucked pink shells from beach washed grave before they cracked before crushed to dust, when I was one with foamy water and stinging salt, remembering again those long ago thoughts ~ I want to walk the Pacific again grainy Pismo sand under feet, Redondo beach was warm, sun-sweet with first kiss those first loves and wind-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 this face, and I knew God broke the mold slender of stance, soon faced the test of beast moved in love to faraway east nothing is quite like the western beach, its sound waves surf nothing can take me back to yesterday but I still hold on for all my worth I want to walk the Pacific again to hear my pounding heart, then feel the crashing waves and spray walk along the rocky way and the magnificence God imparts salt of sea is calling me to walk the Pacific again. 23 December 2000 revised 24 December 2001 revised 5 March 2003 in warm memory of WY |

Karilea, this brought some sweet memories to my mind, loving beaches the way I do. We have some of the most beautiful beaches I've ever seen here by the Gulf Of Mexico. I'll bet they are beautiful in California, too......the memories sure do sound beautiful, friend....  Hugs, Ethel |

Oh Karilea, I nearly cried reading this. I have such wonderful, loving memories of walking the beaches in the San Diego area. If you decide to walk those beaches again, let me know, cause I'd love to walk them with you. The East Coast beaches are beautiful, but the sunsets on the beaches of the west coast are just breathtaking. Great writing. Huggles, Marti |
