My Heaven by Wendy SparlingSunshine filtered through hazy morning fog,
leaving steaming tendrils rising through wet sand,
while crabs scurry for cover beneath seaweed,
and sand dollars glimmer like silver dimes
The incoming tide stretch like piano fingers,
tickling, licking and grasping my bare feet,
and bubbling foam float like swirl clouds,
overcasting my churning marine world below
This is my world, this salt laden ocean,
and I am in heaven, basking in aqua mist.
Eternity awaits me, for this is my destiny;
to LIVE and BE, to breathe my heaven

Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 04/18/09 at 04:57 PM Beautiful poem and accompanying graphic/music Wendy. Have e-mailed the link to my girfriend, as she will easily relate, having lived on the west coast for a while at Refuge Coast and Cortez Island a few years back. |
