You hit my weakness here. I was raised on the coast and the ocean sang it's song and gave me peace and hope in times when I was down. I enjoyed this and can relate.
A GOOD WORK - HOW GOOD IT IS TO BE BLESSED WITH A GIFT THAT 'DRAWS' THE STRENGTH AND ENCOURAGEMENT THAT ONE NEEDS...FROM EACH AND EVERY PLACE...WHEREVER...WE HAPPEN TO FIND OURSELVES. THANKS FOR SHARING AND GOD BLESS. LOVE, JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS
... an Epiphany for certain sure, Dawn! You are aptly named - I have always thought so! Reminds me also of a poem of yours about a swimmer, I think. Were you on Costa de la Luz by any chance? As the name suggests, the light is very special on that part of the Andalucian coastline, just over the narrow strait from Africa. Ahh me... now I'm dreaming! Happy New Year! xx
Dawn, what a beautiful reminder to live in the moment. Lovely poem. So glad to hear you are back and that you spent time with your girls. In Spain no less! You are giving them such an incredible life!
As Christine says, "so soothing" and uplifting, a soul that sees light and is drawn to it. Gentle and thoughtful, Dawn, this poem leaves me warm and grateful.
What a sweet, gentle poem but yet you successfully avoid the trap of sentimentality. This is what a love about poetry--being able to say so much with an economy of words. Great job, Dawn.
What a wonderful start to the New Year. Coastal paradises are a favorite of mine, as well. Welcome home, Happy New Year, I have missed you. Warmly, Carin'
What will you do with the remainder of the reminder?
That is what this poem asks me.
Though I kinda smile at your pics, as for some reason I see a young Merrill Streep.
It seems Europe is your home. Tuscany is my dream place to visit and I do not know why!
The water carries a light of its own. I know this feeling, living on these isles, as it carries a light and a life and a voice, musical, of its own.
oh Dawn this is so soothing, the light in a wave carries much much more...an old fishing village would be a thrill to be at right now...as I love that setting...and happy new year..welcome back

Nothing more be said: perfect, Dawn. Counted blessings!
(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Sometimes we need a reality adjustment to let us know we are here and we count. This adjustment comes in many forms for each individual person. Nice work . . .
