The Child Within

I sit upon this windy shore!.
amid the salty air!.
My senses explore,
with a venturing mind,
my heart, it beats to the rhythm!.

Distant waves gracefully dance,
elegantly and melodically so!.
Moody waters confront ill fate,
crashing rocks of a million years!.

Intoxifying is the beauty,
while emotions settle in!.
Regretful tears, enchanting laughter,
time faded-echoes of my youth!.

In wonderment, I gaze in awe,
how amazing it is to me,
born so gently and tenderly blessed
upon this gracious coast!.

My fingers trace my fresh clear tears
through pure and grainy sand!.
An inner voice begins to speak,
startling yet eerily calm!.

"Please don't cry in thoughts of me,
I've not gone as far as you think!."
And with an all too familiar laugh,
the voice disappears once again!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
