 I stand on the sandy shore Seeking solace at sunset's door, Summer winds from off the sea Soothingly caress and refresh me. Softly darkness cloaks me tight Soon to be bathed in moonlight, The sun reluctantly sinks from sight Surrendering the sea to coming night. Neptune's sea sounds pleasingly play Bringing an end to a worrisome day, How fleeting my frustrations fade away Freeing my mind from its haze of gray. Rising sea swells wave farewell To the setting sun furling it's sail, With a burst of color it disappears, I marvel in solitude resting here. Kissed by a warm gentle sea breeze My troubled mind begins to ease, Slowly and surely my concerns end, Carried to sea by the summer wind. As dusky darkness enfolds me I am one with the calming sea, Here my worry of mind amends, Drifted to sea by summer winds. ©Written by: Kenneth J. Ellison 05-17-05 To send this page to someone |
