On Your Shores

In tender light of pink sunrise 
under a sheer, swiveling sky,
you rescued me on jagged rocks, 
then from the haze, shined you and I.

This joyous place upon a strait       
over the gently roiling sands,
is where our love rose on the winds
surrounded by salt-kissed wetlands.

Clear, cyan seas flowed tranquilly,
and in love's trance, I fell for you.
What started as my heart’s secret,
I shared with seagulls as they flew.

Waves surged and sprayed across the shore, 
mist glistened and blew off the dune.
Then kindest eyes found love in mine
as tides swelled in glow of full moon.

Today, I count my days as blessed.  
I am assured by faithfulness.
I’m lifted to your waiting shores
as glistening waves flow effortless.

Rhonda, you hit all the high notes for me; the waves, the full moon, the sand, the sunrise, the salty air, the romantic love story. Loved the painting too. A fave ~ John
