Light softly shines
across the stillness
as silhouettes reflect

wet shimmers



a midsummers touch



and she shivers



when greeting the banks
with fingertips entwined
reaching under silvery skies



still damp
with the dew
of two
     uniting
under morning hues.



Silence is broken only
by the low moans

of her rhythmic swaying
in orchestrated waves
of motion.



Mesmerizing, she is
in lulling song
of  captivating sighs



  the winds,  alone
can hear her    crying

she shudders
   in ecstasy



dancing in veils of
blue on blue
where sky
meets sea



her shadows forever
will be haunting me



{for you m'friend...              }


and life for me ain't been no crystal stair  Langston Hughes

Gentle,
The odor takes a special yield
When smelling flowers in the field.

Thanks Sey and Susan, and happy Friday.
My desire to visit the sea again keeps her memories fresh in my mind...
she is almost a haunting of beauty that can't be forgotten.

I so appreciate you both.  Hugs.

I really want to care,
I want to feel something,
let me dig a little deeper
nah, still nothing~

ah Kari, you slipped in there.
But you know the sea, she holds my dreams
and heart....  lol.  Sometimes I swear I can hear her whispering across the miles.

Silence is broken only
by the low moans

of her rhythmic swaying
in orchestrated waves
of motion.

To read this one more time,
in different light,
under auspicious means...

is to breath deep,
and know, again.

I wonder how many words have been written
of such a simple, yet beautiful sight,
sound and feel?  You have done admirably
well.  Thanx Donna.
