wiggling her toes in imaginary sand
trying her very best to drift back into dreamland

In his
indecision
he changed
again
Only to
become more
of what he had
— never been
(Dreamsleep: January, 2025)
Heads pull from the sand
Now thinking they understand
Post on Social media on demand
Things they know nothing about!
A palmful of warm sand
flowing through the fingers
no words ever spoken
the palm dust remains
I'm thinking..into.. forever
I was his princess
Our castle was so special
A labor of love
We two together
Forever memories shared
The sand, Sea, and we
The mirror sees me
As eyes casting aspersions
I cannot look at myself
For longer than its reflection
I do not want me to crack
Catching truth in the light
or trapped by the night
The hourglass a prison
—as twilight falls
(Dreamsleep: September, 2022)
If I carried a grain of sand
And I placed it on some distant land
I did this over a billion times
Im still no closer to eternal life
kids love to play
summer its everyday
making sand ball
near the ocean fall
they love the beach
holding hands
KIDS AND BEACH SAND
Countless ages past,
On this beach of shifting sand
Great mountains once stood.
I can barely remember
The reasons for our parting.
lost and blind
the sands of time
lack gravity
***
Lifting her mask
she whispered
"I'll show you mine
.....if you show me yours"

Rigid tan crystals
impacted when wet.
Roughness that can scratch
upon flesh when dry.
Cosmic fun on beaches
pleasures foundation.
"You hold Eternity in your hand!"
Boomed the ocean to the shore.
"For, in every grain of sand -
Is Earth's history for evermore! "
Just as pearls start
as a grain of sand. So do
friendships grow. Adding
layer by layer, both change
into something that's wonderous
Form:
Warm sand between toes
Ocean waves lapping the shore
Gentle breeze blowing
Summer evening on the beach
A touch of heaven on earth.
Faster than hourglass
more sand slip
through my fingers
words I couldn't tell you
pick them up one by one

Seashore Haiku
waves waltz on the sand
seagulls sing their sweet songs~
sea breeze softly sighs
Today I’m grateful for the knowledge…the ability to understand
that I don’t need money or anyone’s permission
to build a castle in the sand.
it was a gas
my mind it last
tho it was in the pass
i still don't regret
you can bet
as we listen to the beach band
we had
SEX ON THE BEACH
SAND
lo, damp abandon
yon snowy dead pan owl hoots
on dry sand castles

Written words James Edward Lee Sr 2020
I wondered when you'd return.
How could you just leave me behind?
I thought you loved me.

barefoot treading free
cool turquoise ripples lapping
hot golden beaches

Lord
i
found
this
tunnel of joy
as
i
walk
along
the
silent shore
yet
in
the palm of
my hand
shall be
every grain of this sand
Playing on the beach,
Toes curled into the wet sand,
One hand shades her eyes;
Memories rise with the sun,
Years have passed since she was young.
