Moment In Time

Florida 1990

Fragile breezes dance across my face as

Ocean waves shimmy a light belly dance,

gyrating these shores where many have

wandered leaving their invisible mark,

treasure trove of memories that delight those

times passed. Heat burns down scorching as

I lay on soft sand – hands creating designs,

fingers burrowing each grain velvet to touch,

tide drifts in and out like my lucid visions,

sinking further into sleep flickering sunlight

glimmers like shards of broken glass upon my

closed eyes; so relaxed am I in faraway dreams,

time melting away...sound becoming almost lost,

a fleeting distant echo in the back of my mind,

reminding me of reality in half conscious state,

swell in my palms now, feeling nothing but calm.
