From My Diary : Introspection

Gentle winds warm my old and wrinkled skin As feet begin to sink in sea's soft sand Seabirds found warmest winds to glide again Beyond gray contours of waves and land Silhouettes with wings have begun to dive And feast on fish coming into my view I'll sit and wait for sunset to arrive Know life is filled with moments passing through Though I can pause for such a quiet scene And reflect on the souls who've come before Who saw the same seas and sounds in between Wondered like I and sat upon this shore I'll think about the world and humankind Hope the next soul here will reflect in kind 10/29/17 contest From my diary: introspection sponsor Broken Wings

Congratulations Frederick: There is something about the sea that gives us pause for such reflections. I have added this one to my Favs list.
