To Find I almost passed by you your proudly waves the allure of bare feet the first rush of letting go of skin the sin of salt little pins on pressed sand where sun's reflection plays catch and drown then draws breath again I had to pull away to see your mouth all spray with wind your rounded clean line embraced by sky to find the turn of curved arm where I am still waiting wet and wild with sand |

Hey Martie  I'm so glad that you're back...and with a beautiful poem!! I love this part here..... where sun's reflection plays catch and drown then draws breath again and this.... I had to pull away to see your mouth all spray with wind your rounded clean line embraced by sky to find the turn of curved arm where I am still waiting wet and wild with sand Goofy me  I should have just highlighted the whole poem. Hugs  Ethel |

Hi Martie, I haven’t been to the beach yet this season, but with the kids out of school next week, here I come... WoooHooo! lol Your great poem though, was the next best thing! I especially liked the ending: “I had to pull away to see your mouth all spray with wind your rounded clean line embraced by sky to find the turn of curved arm where I am still waiting wet and wild with sand” I got some salty water in my eyes on that one! Take care Martie, wonderful write, Richy |

(kiss on cheek) God Bless You, swet friend, this is a gem, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Martie, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton Underneath your clothes, there's an endless story |

QJQ...I'm glad you enjoyed this..thank you for taking the time to read and let me know. Karilea--A vision it is...thank you for seeing it and for the grin! Ethel--perhaps goofy, also very sweet...thanks. Richy--So sight or sound quite a special as kids at the beach...especially your own. Thank you for your reply. Noah...Actually this beach scene was a metaphor for another kind of relationship then to the ocean. But, you're right..we take so much that's special for granted. Barry...Thanks, dear man, for making me smile. Sharon...Yes, it can be hot here, but you were here at a particularly hot time...sorry about that. You'll just have to come again...right? Janet Marie...I knew you would like this...so glad! Yes, come to the beach with me..I'd love it! |

I want to go there..... ....and you took me for a few moments at least. This poem is worth reading just for the surface imagery, but the undertones are just delicious. You've blessed us again. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |
