BY THE SEA.....MEMORIES....





I SET OUT AGAIN, ON THIS WINTER NIGHT,
TO DETACH MYSELF FROM THIS OSTENTATIOUS RING-
NOT TO EMBRACE SORROW AND MELANCHOLY
BUT TO WALK BY THE SEA.

BY THE SEA I FIND MY FOCUS
HERE IS THE SPACE TO BE MYSELF
COMMUNE WITH SURF AND SAND AND SKY
REGARDLESS OF QUESTIONS OF WHEN N WHY.

UNDER THE PLAYING CANOPY OF-
THE MELLIFLUOUS MOON AND PALM LEAVES,
I PONDER ON SPECIAL MEMORIES OF MINE
TO FEEL THE INFINITE POSSIBILITIES OF LIFE.

THE TOUCH OF SAND SEEMS ETHEREAL TO ME.
CRACKING OF WAVES THE SWEETEST MELODY.
CARESSING WINDS REMIND WITH THEIR HOWLS.
THERE ARE MOMENTS WHEN SOLITUDE REFRESHES THE SOUL.

I WALK BACK TO WORLD OF ENDLESS DREAMS.
TO WAKE TO MY GOALS OF REALITY.
BUT HERE I STAND TREASURING IT ALL
INTO A GOLDEN RING OF MEMORY.
