A Summer Sigh

The lush of the land lies as velvet moss green carpet The river rushing its morning wash rumbling as it spins twisting and turning its tidal path over the chance carried stones to the seas Where the coastal sands of time are met Meeting waves pulled by undercurrents Finding rocks, kale, seaweed and moss covered Just as the hair of cherubs faces foamed Then gently adorned with shell and mollusk jewels and salty sea air crusts crystal formations alongside In come the tides bringing with them oceanic treasures Driftwoods, wreckage, salvage, that have crashed and bashed the cliffs along the way To finally rest ashore and be renewed To become beach combers delights Trinkets gifts or items for the home

Ps. Smile ~ Just stopping back by to let "Your Treasures" know that, I was just having a bit of kindly jest with "Your Beauty" here in regards unto my reference unto "The Bermuda Triangle" dear &, actually, I can see this scenario playing itself out All over the worlds sea-coast including, here in Nor Cal...."Much Love to 'You Always, Beautiful Anna Marie,'" John! ~ Smile, "'Vaya Con Dios,' My Dear &, 'Thank You,' For 'Your Beauties' Coms;" Bye!:) ~

But, I loved the way in which "Your Beauty" layered this "Amazing Poe" with sooo many vivid & colourful images; "Magnificent!!!" ~ "My Love & Warmth to 'You Always' &, All You Love, 'Forever,'" John ~ Smile, "Have A Very Blessed & Beautiful Day 'Dear, Lovely Anna Marie,' Amid Tranquilities Oceanic Whispers of, 'Beautiful Love;'" Bye, "Dear Beautiful Lady!":) ~

What a beautiful description of the things seen along the river banks. I really enjoyed the line about "the coastal sands of time." There is an underlying message to this profound poem, Anna-Marie, and it's so nice to see you posting poetry again, my friend. Love, Carolyn
