| Linger ~ All alone, I quietly step My mind lost in faraway thought Beneath my feet, the golden grains of sand Between my toes are caught I feel their heat and texture course As the imprints are left by my feet With frothy, foamy bubbles, the sea teases my feet with it's reach I gaze to it's edge and dreamily wonder At a ship, it's cargo unknown At how many ports, it has docked beside Or how many places it's shown My thoughts are distracted By a perfectly formed, and beautifuly pearlised shell To my ear it, I place and pause to hear A familiar sound performed well Of roaring waves and angry sprays As it replicates the sea, And takes me away to a romantic place...... Where you were still beside me All at once, I'm aware of times ordered pace Forcing me back down to earth My direction changed, I wish with a sigh As back to the sea I turn That I could remain and linger awhile To absorb it's breathtaking worth ~Sani~ |
