The Waiting Shore

My love and I washed up on the waiting shore destined to lay our heads on her satin sand. Distressed from violent seas, we shook to the core, in wake of destruction, where waves touch the land. The storm has now passed, my Lord whispered to me. Gale winds will soon calm and the heavens you'll see. I searched the horizon for glimmers of hope and saw a great aura where stars had eloped.

Lovely title and a stunning last line: where stars had eloped. I just love that. Rhonda, I want to tell you thanks so much for reading my story. I think maybe only two people read it. This tells me so much about you, and yes, you ARE a lot like me. When you told me how you send Xmas cards to a few old friends who never even return them. THat is SO me. I finally do quit doing that kind of thing after years of it, but I hang on to everything and everyone in my life. LUv, Andrea
