where dreams wash ashore

by Mary Ellen Smith



right here.

here, where the sand is stirred.
where foam dissolves into little puddles.

it’s here.

this is where I dig my toes into the world’s edge
and take that dizzying ride
that carries me away for a moment
to lands far away.
and clouds too high to touch.

it’s here.

where dreams wash ashore.
and all of the wishes
kissed into star filled night skies
fall to the sea.

all wash ashore sooner or later.
here or there.

I can feel some of them
right now
under my toes.

Warm positive message throughout this Mary Ellen. As a life long cloud watcher I especially like this line: and clouds too high too touch. Thanks for making my day! :o)

Oh... the introspection - I love it. :)
