Solitude By the Reverie

Sitting by the beach the lights of yesterday grow dim 
while the calming waves of terranas caress my reverie,  
the hotting sands bequeath their perfect light;   
A lull in time, a moment of grace   
and soon I apprehend it all with none; 

Nature's casting light    
and the deedle doddle of my skin 
beneath the burning sun; 
   
Palm trees breathe and I could swear 
this day was made for me..  

Right here on this beach the world falls away 
and I'm too far to inch recall the boister of my kind 
Befitted for the sea I long for no one else but him
 
Tonight,
they'll be a little wine? a yellow dress? 
a dance mayhap?  Romance?...

Like the commercial says,"Life's a beach" Nothing like moonlight dancing on water to set the mood for romance. Nice of you to take us with you, Pixie:)

Oh so delicately and exquisitely imagined and expressed, Pixie. 'Palm trees breathe and I could swear this day was made for me...' - your poem is full of magical moments and your breathtaking imagery takes me away.. Warmest wishes ~Susan

The reader can feel the love you have for this tropical beach. Sometimes we are blessed by such feelings when "the world falls away." A lovely poem! Hugs, Carolyn
