Memories of Beauty

Broad strips of land cascading to the sea
Shrouded in an early morning mist
The West Coast’s beauty calls to me
For on this rocky shore, we once kissed
Sweet memories of love that I have missed

Sounds like a sweet ol' song Carolyn, love how you dropped the last two lines; good expression is all about good meter, tense and tone --- this poem leaves the reader on that rocky shore with sweet kisses...a welcomed finale;-) happy new year wonderful!
