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.
