Two young friends sit on a promontory overlooking the windswept sea as a lonely lighthouse studies their actions unnoticed. They converse excitedly about the gift of a crimson parasol from a handsome new lad at school. Their hearts soar as they dream wild romantic thoughts as the sound of the waves enchant. There's something wild about being near the waves… Hearing their last hurrah as they hit the sandy shore. Bursting bubbles of white foam on wet sand, The only evidence of their brief existence, save the Sea salt scent wafting in the wild wayward wind. Then there is the chameleon colors mesmerizing eyes As the sun and clouds play with light 'til day is done, And the orange orb slowly sinks below the sea's horizon Sharing a romantic kiss goodbye with the twilight sky.

Beautifully described, and like the two friends on the beach we partake of the sea's enchantment; what a better place for romantic feelings to flow together with the waves! We who live by the sea are so lucky, I suppose! ~ Regards // paul
