Amidst Golden Sands

Amidst golden sands on a blanket I sit Surrounded by voices of beauty I admit Summer breezes caress swaying reeds on the stem Birds look for seeds as they are welcomed by them Waves change to breakers as they change back to waves Upon golden sands they caress day after day The chattering of birds as they glide overhead If we could understand them, hear their words that are said To the waters edge I walk barefoot on the sands Admiring such scenery no matter where I stand The intermittent feeling as the waves brush my skin Allows me to comprehend as I take it all in The afternoon passes as the evening now descends As I say farewell to the beach and the waves that never end But I shall return to the place that never sleeps To add to existing memories, that I'm fortunate to keep http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/nature-14.php

This is a real gem James, for so many different reasons.. You have the ability to take one away from the present the way you describe things when you write.. This is definetely a favourite of mine :)
