Today when the sea’s complexity meets the unmindful shore of her everyday she withdraws within to unfathomable depths with a sadness no current can shift because there lies the mystique and magic of everyone’s hopes and dreams. She rocks to the tune of knowing the blues and enters the feel into soul with the mind of a woman undone from the joys of an unseen love but she dreams, you see, that sea and I and rises right up to her sufferings like the mighty and powerful sun. Please speak, oh, mysterious sea of oceanic beliefs and dreams but she merely rolls to the shore like a man on a mission of war serious, grave, and intensely entwined in the business of dropping tears on the beach of unfulfilled needs. But when dreams play hopscotch with real and shout relief on the sidelines of grief she knows she’s a modern day freak with an unbridled imagination … and this is the sea completely at ease with the whisperings of fantasy as she rolls in sync with time and tide to the end of her present lifetime!

Well, you being SEA and without a doubt mysterious as well would account for it. Glad you enjoyed my sufferings - oops - offerings!  Thank you so much for the read. |

"and this is the sea completely at ease with the whisperings of fantasy as she rolls in sync with time and tide to the end of her present lifetime!" Oh, to achieve that rhythm....now that is something in and of itself, Helen!  ...jo |

Indeed it is, Jo, but really there's no other alternative when dealing with stubborn dreams that refuse to be real. |

"But when dreams play hopscotch with real" Adored this line! The soul would have no rainbows, had the eyes no tears. |
