Astonishing the Senses

On a pristine stretch of solid sand
its serene surface bathed in lazy 
sunshine, I long to hop on a boat, 
let my mind stop thinking, let it rest 
in  contemplation and wonder how 
I can ever stop life moving on.

I stare at nothing, not forgetting
still remembering old memories.
Intoxicated and seduced, I 
breathe in a clear landscape stirred to life 
by a summer wind - such is nature's 
orchestrations, scrub the world clean of
chaos, astonishing the senses

Thanks Linda, appreciate your reply, been so lazy writing lately, and as my poem said it, life for me seemed not to be moving on. Hope to catch up soon. LUV to you too
