I was there again today ... your voice whispering across the years.

The summer sand beneath my feet, Now cooling with the twilight blush, Is time's reminder, rough and sweet, Of when we found our tender crush ... This lonesome beach where, long ago, We loved 'neath towels, raw and slow, And pledged that one, we'd always be ... Now swept, with years ... far out to sea. ~ 2nd Place ~ in the "For Your Poetry Journal" Poetry Contest, Dear Heart aka Broken Wings, Judge & Sponsor.

This is so gorgeous, Gregory! "Now swept, with years...far out to sea." One can't write more exquisitely than that :)
