The Sea

The long thin horizon changes colors, when day moves through time There between light and dark, among waves where silence dwells, the moving sea welcomes me Could I describe the indescribable? Her vastness, where senses become lost, as mystery enters with each dark shadow, that moves beneath the surface The welcome scenes where birds cry out in laughter Where rainbows bend across her horizon, inviting the soul to wonder The coolness of the wet sand under my feet, as though lifting me to glide across the softest plane This is beautiful, peaceful and quiet Allowing the mind to empty and break free The undulation of each current welling up to lay at my feet, leaving the feeling of eternity that I may only visit This sea, where thoughts become untied and the spirit yearns to absorb strength from its ebb and flow To stay and cross into twilight where stars beckon leaving trails upon the sky, as though a match was struck To reveal a secret woven by moonlight dripping upon the surface of the sea like a crown of crusted jewels welcoming this lonely traveler a mere shadow passing through time, while the sea remains contest..The Most Beautiful 7/2/14

Just what I wanted to SEE, hear, smell almost taste - beauty, the only thing which would have made it better for me is a couple of line breaks. fav line [leaving trails upon the sky, as though a match was struck] Congrad's Light & Love

What a beautiful visit you allow me to see in my mind's eye. I'm truly moved by your words. Thank you. Rev. Elizabeth ( I'm not sure if 7 is the best or 1, but be assured I give this a high praise.) Blessings.
