Evening Shore

Posted on May 1, 2011 | 36 Comments

As I started towards the evening shore
It revealed foot prints that began at our door
Knowing they were yours going to the sea
I matched your strong gait feeling anxiety

There sitting alone at the water’s edge
The sand around you formed a wedge
High tide came and left a little moat
Left you sitting higher appearing to float

I called out your name now running towards you
Found you cross legged, hands in your lap blue
Eyes closed with a smile etched on your calm face
Suddenly left us laughing with your cool embrace

    Love romancing with Le Mar… passion and dance to the music of the laughing sea in your lovers cool embrace, how divine….

    Oops -me again! I do believe you meant ‘gait’, not ‘gate’… It’s the editor in me can’t let such things slide. Sorry! 🙂
