The Beach

Do you still see with the exhiliration and wonder of a lover much younger

when you walk upon the shores sharing silence with the birds

barefeet sinking into soft sands gentle water carressing as a lovers hands

sparkling waves shimmering below the horizon oranges pinks blues reds

what do you feel as the time slips away?

a blanket of happiness tinged with nostalgia seeping in

to be a part of such majesty then to turn and walk away

a fleeting glympse of eternal beauty so much grander than oneself

aweing the senses and humbling the soul

will you return to visit with me once more?

as you did in days long gone by

long long before
