Beachcomber

Endless pulse of ocean's dance
carries flotsam to the sand—
every day another chance,
prodded by an unseen hand.
Such a love I've never known,
cresting on his brilliant mind—
after many nights alone
sure there was no love to find.
Such gentle wisdom in his voice,
urging wind-tossed heart to mend...
remember, love is not a choice—
it finds it's harbor in the end.
Such a kindness in his eyes—
passion sets my world afire,
and once more, to my surprise,
his whispers with my hopes conspire.
The sea has washed this love ashore,
and I, the beachcomber, unaware—
a glinting pebble, lost before...
just walking, I have found it there.

Mention sand and Sea and I’m captured!
Your lovely poem lilts and ebbs like the
sea to the shore…
Every word perfectly placed…

Your poetry is heavenly…!
