By the Seaside

~*~

Wading out the rise of tide
knee deep in the moonlight,
void of shadows dancing
weightless as a leaf
floating down stream.
The sound of trees whisper
weeping through willows,
behind my back.
As the water runs off
beneath a cobalt sky,
lapping in a sleepy wake.
Waves of quicksilver
shimmer and glisten,
stranded in sequins and beads.

What a beautiful, visual write!  What a serene, peaceful, and inspiring place!  It was beautifully descriptive I could see, clearly as I see these words I type in response.  You have a magical way with words.  Your posts are always so visually inviting and engaging.  Thank you very much for allowing me to read it.  Well worth the stop here.

stranded, but not far from your pen of perfect pitch in this beautiful and intriguing piece, my dear girl

I love the title it conjures up all kinds of pictures of the mind. Just like a little child I am drawn to the glitter of sequins and beads. If it sparkles I have to stop and a look see and think... "Isn't that pretty."
Good one.

Simply exquisite.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

Beautiful Bluesy....love this !
Hugs~

Something tugs at me, I've no doubt of that.
Something from the sea, whichever one I'm near.
When I stray too far from beachland, it calls me back

Yummm, I love the sounds of that place. Do you go there often? Nice write, dear lady.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

a beautiful image left me with haunting (wonderfully so) memories thank you

There's a place I like to hide-open your mind to me-Visualise your dream- Record it in the present tense, I am smiling next to you, in silent lucidity

I am so glad to see this from you! It's high time you got to the joy, and I hope you keep it from here on out....fairy tales can come true, and serendipity is alive and well.

Love the view through your eyes . . . always have, and will and . . .

been meaning to ask for the longest, what are you holding in your hand (in the picture here of course!)???

I've named it almost everything - sea gull feathers being my favorite fantasy, and a few you probably wouldn't want to hear.  

Finally I had to ask - and I hope it's not something terribly obvious....

but, please, lay it on me! LOL

Such a vivid picture of a night and the sea.  Well done!  KJ

Through rubble and trouble and dark of night
The yawn of a dawn will hasten the light

Just suffice it to say, that each line bears repeating! There is magic in your pen, Lovely Lori!

May you words forever "shimmer and glisten"!
