Moonlight pulsates on the sea and leaves an intermittent glow of dappled light these wandering waves of wonder land on the barren shore where they soak the sand wet in a solemn peaceful motion before vanishing, to be seen no more they set my mind to rest to allow undisturbed reflection from echoes from my past that linger and meander on a background of black where I reflect on my time and years contemplate its aftermath the evidence from memories are naked and exposed where truth meets illusions as I walk this lonely shore with reflections they disclose

Hello Frederic, What an amazing meditation on the passage of time and the interplay between memory and reality. I loved everything about your imagery of moonlit waves washing ashore and disappearing into the night mirrors the transient nature of life itself. As you walk the lonely shore, your reflections unveil the raw truth of your past experiences, juxtaposing memories with illusions. You have really shown the complexity of human existence and the importance of introspection in understanding our journey. Frederic this is a deeply introspective piece that is filled with the universal quest for meaning and understanding. - Blessings, Daniel
