Back To You

i traipse along these crystal sands collecting memories like shells, unbroken a windy mist of ocean's kiss the sighs of jaded palms timeless shadows of faded footsteps leading back to you my thoughts fall silent beneath the whispers of endless waves my mind unclouded blushes in folds of day my smile agleam in its wake ...all leading back to you

What a wonderful poetic journey back to someone who lived and still lives in your heart. I could feel this and see it as if I were there waiting at the end of those footsteps.

This is just perfect. So elegant, and even a bit understated. Just right-- a delight! Cheers, Gershon
