Imprint

Today I left an imprint On a lonely river bank shore The clouds rose high like Kings reigning over their kingdom The waves, faithful followers Bowed down to them once more My laughter echoed down the beach carried from the western wind Then I dipped my toes in Lifting my tshirt over my head, I felt the summer sun blushing my skin Pulling my shorts down my hips, In my black Bikini I dove in Feeling a smile cross my lips I closed my eyes, as I drifted along The lapping sound of the waves reminiscent of a true paradise song Clyde My golden retriever swims graceful circles around me Bobbing his head along the surface, he is the best hunter..... For scaring away minnows, he is my little protector We sat together in awe worshipping the sunset The Deep Crimson, ginger and amythyst Sunset Feeling the water trickling down my hair, onto my back, I realized it was not time to leave for home, no not yet Now Silhouetted By the lowering sun I have a new appreciation for Darkness. And by darkness I don’t mean Van Goghs Starry night No, Although the stars that, night burned brilliantly bright No I know There is an elegance in shadows This place is sacred and hallowed I made an imprint on the beach But it will be edged away by the constant lapping of the shore This place will leave an imprint in my memory, that I will keep Forevermore.
