 Artist: Randy Faris A Day by the Sea ~ Linda L. Dowd ~ The kiss of sun upon my skin, While lying by shore of the sea, It smiles my heart with happiness As it spills its warmth into me. Gold rays stream down from cobalt skies, Rendering Light-ness to my day, While waves of blue go rolling by, Washing all of my cares away. The freshness of the salty air, I breathe into the core of me. It clears my mind and calms my soul, As I spend this day by the sea. |

Linda this brings fond memories to life again of many a day spent by the sea.... lovely In your light I learn how to love In your beauty how to make poems You dance inside my chest where no one sees you and that sight becomes this art |

Very beautiful, Linda Lou!! I love the beach too. It is so relaxing to me. I love to hear the waves. It's so much fun to walk along the beach barefooted at night and listen to the waves splashing. Brings back some good memories. Thank you!!  Hugs, Ethel |

I do so love how this one concludes... "The freshness of the salty air, I breathe into the core of me. It clears my mind and calms my soul, As I spend this day by the sea." Ah I can feel it! Eric |

Ethel Mae ~ Oh, yes! Like you, I love to walk along the beach as well at night. When I was a little girl, I lived right on the shore of the Bay of Fundy in New Brunswick. I have such fond memories of the ocean waters and the fresh salty air! Hugs with love, Linda Lou |
