                                       Meal Beach, Burra Isles, Shetland by Robin Gosnall



Mystery of the deep

In solitude walking a sandy beach
seeking refuge from the heat, the heat of desire
rippling waves crash upon my feet, cooling relief
lost soul, caught between two worlds...

vast blue waters run deep with mystery
what lies beneath wonders of the sea
dolphins splashing echoing their song
waves of emotions, stirring inner commotion...

UN-ending love, matchmaker of the heart
Poseidon, are you still ruler of the deep
rolling  blue seas yield to your command
turbulent storms....

cool waters lure me, but I retreat...
my haven a sand castle on the beach
molded fortress for me to dream of my knight...
lay down my steal sword on the soft shore....

In crystal waters my visions become clear....
  ivory towers slowly disappear
grains of sand slipping through my fingers
memories of you linger
 to you I will always wave
hello

      Yes, I could use some warm beach weather..the snow is melting a bit today but, a day on the beach oh..that sounds so sweet.

  5. Mystery . . . yes. We see the surface and think we know but not really.

    1. DCW, Thanks for the reply and I agree a vast mystery that we have only touched the surface on the depth goes beyond our understanding.
