ended up
at the beach last night
wind whipping salt water
white sand
and
rain
chasing waves like I
was
five
soaked
through and through
loved it
could have stayed forever
right there
frozen the moment
mine
there’s
something about
a stormy shore
something about
pelting rain and driving wind
makes me lift my arms
and
feel
free
salt water lungs
crashing waves
splatter of lights from distant shoreline
and
the sea
spread across the expanse
dark and beautiful
a gift
of life
breath of the sea
Josie,
I know well the majesty you speak of, born near her roar, you just painted it afresh, I too of young, nor still, know no grander place, on Gods green earth! Very pretty and delicate write...

Thats a very good description of the Pacific ocean. Its still tooo cold and wet for me.
Love, Mom
Jose, the sea (Atlantic Ocean) is my compass in life. As long as I know where it is, I know where I am. As long as I can go to the sea, I can solve any problem, and replenish my soul. Thank you for putting it on paper for all to see.

You painted a beautiful picture. I could see myself right there with you, feeling what you were feeling. Love your talent.
That same sea draws me in with its overpowering lure and beauty.

I WISH IT WAS WARM ENOUGH FOR ME TO RESTART MY DAILY WALKS ALONG THE BEACH, I MISS THEM SO.
