Notes About The Poem

Not the Same

Sun scorching, sweltering, sizzling beach

My hardened soles resist the heat

Sunglasses shielding my eyes

White cotton ball clouds glide

Along deep blue skies

But I’m blue too

Intensely 

Missing

You

Love it. Been to places like your picture. But the more beautiful a place 'missing you' is always there. Thank you for that. Karen
