Parasol Dreams - For Contest
Parasol Dreams
She had found it
at the stony end
of the beach,
a Red Parasol.
Its vivid color
drew her eyes,
its presence fired
her imagination.
She picked it up
giggling and twirled
the flaming red top
above her head.
Evening sun drew
a picture of a tall,
elegant, lady strolling
along the shoreline,
gentle salt breezes
rippling her golden hair,
silent footsteps floated
upon foamy surf.
She spoke quietly
as she walked
speaking of dreams,
of love, of longings.
As the sun set
she looked back
her lonely footprints
succumbing to the tide,
her shadow companion
fading in the darkness.
She left the Red Parasol
at the rocky end of the beach
hoping they would meet again
of an evening.
