I can see it, plain as dreams.
I'm walking alone on the beach at night.
The sand gives a little under my feet,
not really so much that I leave
footprints, and wherever I do, they are
quickly washed away by the crashing
waves that come to nibble at my toes.
And it mirrors my life.  Not the
way the ocean mirrors the pale moon,
But the way that it all
gets washed away.

What a great wrap up! Nice work Wendy!

If this were CA (I might suggest a honing~just a bit) but the imagery and the way you all bring it together-FABULOUS!

Beautiful Wendy, an ocean themed poems are always a winner with me!!

I loved this Wendy!  I also thought it was a great way to wrap up the poem using the ending line you did.  "...the way that it all gets washed away."
I am looking forward to more of your work!!!!

I never wanted to say suc a thing but this is lacking more.  I apologize but this one is remarkable and I think it could use more.  Please do not be mad but enthuised to write more on these thoughts!!!! Once again I'm sorry I'f I offended but I was left with AND?

Oh, I know the feeling.  When I finished this one, I felt it wasn't exactly finished, but I was drawing a blank on what else could be done, so I stopped.
