A Mile of Sand and Hope
By Felix L. Perry
I walked a mile of sand today
Along a surf tossed beach
Threw away my socks and shoes
Chased a sea bird out of reach
Skipped stones across the water
Made angels in the sand
Built a castle to the stars
I hope you understand
It was my way of living
My protest against time
Age might be an enemy
Empathy a crime
I lay under the burning sun
The wind caressed my skin
I smelled the salt of seven seas
I took a little swim
Salt brine dried upon my lips
Refreshed my life’s outlook
Now I can see a little clearer
The worlds an open book
Sun traded spots with moonbeams
But still I lingered on
Jewelled stars bathed the waves
How could anything be wrong.
Take care,
Sherry

Go ahead! Buy a beach house, I know where there is a community of poets and writers that needs a place for an annual reunion! *grin*
Thanks for letting us take that walk with you!

"To Walk My Beach"
Thursday, November 14, 2002
I walk my beach alone
I walk tall in pain
Holding my head up high
No good to even try
Only you could stop my cry
What is the use of abuse
When your man runs out on boose
And you get bruised
that's no excuse
I refuse to give...yes
I refuse to give
That's what I call been abused
I walk my beach well
Pick up some shell
Looking for some answer
But a heavy swell
what a disaster
Knocks me over
And I cry out of laughter
But now I walk my beach with you
My feet in your feet
My eyes is your eyes
And all I need is my Ocean
My Shell, my Soulmate
My eyes in your eyes
With love abuse instead
That's all I need
That's all I need
Always
Indeed
Love Tinka

And when you get that beach house, I'll be living right next door! Siiiggghhhhhh....I love the ocean; so beautiful, so calming...and so powerful! (Especially during hurricanes--now THAT would make me nervous). All the other times, it would be delightful!!
As is this write--beautifully imaged, and I hope you get bestseller AND that house!
(((HUGS))) and love, Karla. :)
