In Wait

another hot July day
and all I can think of is the sway
of the feel of the music of Brahms
tenderly pressed between palms
a dancing wind in review
for eyes living an ocean view
an inch is a mile out of reach
today between me and the beach
but the sky is an ocean in the air
within its tides carries my prayers
where I am a passion in hesitate
and another gulf breath is in wait

"be prepared to bleed"  Joni Mitchell

It's been way too long since I've seen the ocean.  Some really nice images in this Helen.  

"gulf breath"...love that.

Ah, makes me long for the gulf coast.  Much enjoyed.

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

Helen this was so cool!  I love the beach, ocean, the palms...I love it all.
