Sand in my Shoes

Sand in my shoes and ice in my booze
I sit on the shore and hear the waves roar
And the sea gulls reflect me no respect
They spew on my pate and ground of my sate

It is not easy to withdraw
The echoes of life in its pour
The changing of the dust and grime
The tick tock and the rush of time

It is a dither either way
The come apart, the wither of day
A hardship for the mind to lease
The smidgeon of a moment’s peace

There is no stop the moving clock
Nor a harbor or a peaceful dock
It pushes away each reached for goal
How can we fill our hungry soul?

Be it ever so humble I sit a monk
With sand in my shoes and often drunk

And so Seymour,


Time marches on and it is now time to pick up your quill and write a "new song." Thanks

Why did you feel moving out of urban would change things

Urbanites move from urban to rural to destroy that habitat

Enjoy you time before it become an offshore oil terminal

"How can we fill our hungry soul?"  I was advised the other day to drink more - it seems as if you've got that one covered but that it doesn't actually work.  Guess we'll just have to stick with the sand.  Enjoyed your words!

I read this, wondered at your view... and will probably have to read it over a few more times.  It does occur to me how restless the seas of mankinds thoughts are as we seek to make waves with our pinprick thoughts in the immense scheme of things.  It does make me ponder.

PEACE!
Karen

Yes thank you for the read and reply.

Klassy,
Well I did move down here, but don't believe the drinking.
