Bermudian Shoreline

Strolling 'long Bermuda's shoreline,
Waves caressing our toes.
Whence they come and whither they go,
No mortal really knows!

We stroll 'neath the moon's mellow glow,
To a secluded cove.
Though age hath taken its toll, we,
Relive our youthful love!

Thanks Andrea. I have many fond memories of Bermuda since that was my first overseas assignment in the AF and where I met my future wife, Vera. Bob H

G'day Robert... poems written about water tend to have a calming effect and this poem of yours gives me that feeling. Lindsay

Thank you very much, dear Jan. As you have seen from many of my past writes, I don't usually write "mush" but deemed it OK for nette's contest. Hope you have a grand week ahead filled with inspiration for more of your splendid poetry - bob h
