As Memories Fade

As Memories Fade Excitement waits A week on an island vacation Shopping boutiques and antique stores Visiting Art galleries Dinning and enjoy the entertainment With no cell phones Slowly escaping Away from the everyday life To lull On the sandy beach Slowly escaping Strolling barefoot Feeling the wet soaking sand And the cool ocean breeze Watching the consolations That is out of reach Listening to the serenity Of the night tease Being entertained With sounds of the waves, Shrill of the seagulls, and Roar and barks of the sea lions As memories fade To reteach and reveal who I am Not wanting to go back to reality Golden days to remember © Eve Roper 3/28/2015 Contest: 'Golden Days' Sponsored by: Rob Carmack

Thank you, Andrea, I always felt so calm every time I went to the Oregon Coast , walks on the sandy beach, watching the break of waves and the roar it makes when hit the rocks , with the sea lions barking, and the seagulls flying around for scraps of food. Blessings dear friend
