Never Lost


The palms whistled in the wind, as waves rolled onto shore
The path of moonlight shimmered, we wanted nothing more
We laughed as we dodged the moving water on the sand
Engaging smiles in the night, as you gently held my hand
We were free as each flying seagull, not missing a beat
We held each other in darkness, overcoming daylight heat
Then you reached down, picked up a seashell just for me
You looked at me and told me to hold it from this memory
        -  I knew this was more than anything could cost - 
              -  For this love to eternity will never be lost -

Heidi, your work shines with creativity, brilliance, and poetic skill. In the verses, a delicate apathy illustrates the heart of this passionate moment. Similar to a seashell's humble gift, there is a deep display of simple dedication. Each line exudes captivating elegance. A fave

Heidi, there is a sweet innocence in your words of this romantic interlude. And, like the simple gift of the shell, there is a beautiful gift of simple commitment. Such grace in each line! So happy I found this loveliness today! Blessings and continued prayers! Think of you often in prayer.
