Eve Roper Poet Free verse

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

Andrea Dietrich March 28, 2015 at 10:38 PM I think you did a good job describing golden days. to me, these are truly golden. Eve Roper March 28, 2015 at 11:32 PM 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
