melodious dreams






the gentle waves lapping, as dusk settles in,
murmur sweet comforting words,
caressing the tension from day-weary limbs
while steering the soul homewards;
and the wafting wind of scented twilight,
quietly clears the mind,
as moonlight reveals melodious dreams
that tenderly thoughts unwind.

Carefully he makes his way over the slipper rocks and finds a place between them. Anticipating the water singing directly over his pores as he lays among the thing much harder than he is.

Anything that caresses the tension is a good thing for me. Clearing the mind is healing. I almost feel like I just had a gentle massage after reading this poem.

Shadow this poem is perfect and the picture is matched so well. I refuse to believe that you cannot draw or paint. I think maybe you struggle with capturing a sentiment or philosophy on paper ut I know you can do it xx

Steve E. said...

Several summers I recall house-sitting right on Naples beach (Florida) and your scene is a pure replica of those idyllic evenings.

NEVER would I tire of those special moments, as God talks to us, through every swish of wave-sounds, through every breath of sea breeze.

Love and PEACE!
