I long to dwell within myself
With sunlit trance upon my face
And briny scents to clear the mind
Caressed by natures sweet embrace
I yearn for gentle cleansing tides
To soothe an ailing in my heart
And many festive flowered leis
Adorned by love not torn apart
I ache to quench a raging storm
Those pounding waves inside my shell
And calm the sea from seething surf
Receding from it's gowning spell
I know in time this pining soul
Will listen to it's calling sound
Of sirens beckoning to the shoal
Where sandstone angels ran aground

As smooth as butterscotch pudding,
and as elevating as a greeting from
a long lost friend.
I thoroughly enjoyed this one, Paul,
even the title is entrancing.
Paul, this is beautiful, it grasped and tugged at my soul immediately!! I have too often been a sandstone angel, ahhh, the irony of yearning to dwell within, and then wishing for the key to get out... :) One of your best, in my opinion!! Another uniqueness is how you meld the softness of angels and the roughness of sandstone, exquisite!!
