I've abandoned the hills where love was lost to seek solace along a seashore. Dawn finds me searching for something more, as rippling waves gently caress the sand. Maybe the sun's warmth will melt the frost that always seems to be encircling my heart.

Ocean shoreline has a soothing effect on mind. Nice short poem.

Always find the shoreline to be a place of healing...and if you are quiet, it speaks. Do like the poem and the painting Lin, both seem to echo on the same frequency.

The seashore always gives me a sense of tranquility even though it’s vast and powerful. There’s something about the rhythmic drone that soothes me. I was searching for a scene to accompany it when I remembered my ‘Lady and the Sea.’ Thank you on both counts, Paul.
