Joseph Rodefer DeCamp

Under the awaking dawn I sit, tracing the sea's yawn Of innumerable sand grains, Swell waves without reins. Light scattering, exciting risin Reflections off the horizon The lull breeze caress silence Like your arms once presence Held me tightly in its embrace. Tho, I still, you I chase. Bragging to the stars I dwell The last time I saw you- Farewell, I said against you I did whisper In a faint whimper. Your last kiss I do miss 7/11/2022 Sponsor Lisa YY Contest Name FAREWELL

Dear Eve, Following Angela's suggestion, I also read it backward and it's beautiful both ways :) I love "swell waves without reins." Congratulations!
