HARMONY OF THE SENSES

Source:mykukula

The rustle of the grass

as I make my way past.

The hard waves against the shore

echo memories and more.

The soft feel of the white sand

as I touch toes to the land.

The cries of the seagulls

as they dip to check holes.

A harmony of the senses.

A feast to cover all tenses.

Past, present, future converge

to bring pleasure to this splurge.

A DAY AT THE BEACH

A day at the beach.

The sea breeze soothes my aching soul.

Seagulls taunt me with their cries.

Cold water tickles my toes.

Sand flows through my fingers.

A day in Oasis, Florida.

A day at the beach

Before The Dead arrive.

PRELUDE TO BOOK II – THE DEAD GAME SERIES

Has End House returned to Oasis?

Our chanting had cast it to sea.
 
It can’t be back.
 
We can’t be under attack.

Silence fills the forest.

A cold breeze tickles my arms.

I follow the path through

a thick copse of trees.

The sky darkens.

A shadow looms in the distance.

I enter the clearing.

Seagulls cry and swoop low.

I halt by a deep hole.

The spot where End House had stood.

A hard shove

And I’m falling.

Laughter follows my descent.

I hit rock bottom. 

A tunnel stretches before me.

Light at its end.

PRELUDE TO BOOK II

TICKLE MY TOES

TICKLE MY TOES

They tickle my toes.

They line up in rows.

Oh! What can they be?

A starfish or three?

The water has a pink shine.

Too many colors to rhyme.

Red for my long, long hair.

Orange fish who swim near.

Yellow for the rays of the sun.

Blue for the water that’s so fun.

I can stay here the whole day.

The seagulls have come to play.

The birds circle around me.

Yes! It’s the best place to be.

A WINDOW

A window to the world.

A window to beauty.

To snow-capped mountains.

To swan-filled lakes.

To pounding waves of the ocean.

To fields of flowers.

To adventure.

To romance.

Open the window.

Open your mind

to the possibilities.

Wake up your senses.

Can you see the rocks

along the shore?

Can you feel the ocean breeze?

Can you smell the flowers?

Can you feel the hot sun

on your face?

Can you hear the seagulls’ cries?

Can you taste the salty air?

I can.

A PERFECT DAY

niadil:

A PERFECT DAY

Open the window.
Let in the fresh breeze.
A salty ocean breeze.
Ruffling through your hair.
A mist on your face.
What can be more perfect?
The view.
A view of the ocean.
The waves.
The white sand.
What can be more perfect?
The sounds of seagulls.
As they soar through the sky.
Through the puffy clouds.
What can be more perfect?
The sun.
Shining in the sky.
Giving warmth and hope to all.

LET'S TAKE A WALK

Let’s take a walk.
Down the path
covered in flowers.
Down the stairs
to the beach.
Can you feel the ocean breeze?
Can you smell the flowers?
The sun rides high in the sky.
My mood is riding as high.
Let’s not stop.
Let’s keep walking.
Fisherman are bringing in their catch.
Seagulls circle around them.
Searching for any scraps of fish.
Can you smell the fish?
A unique aroma.
Let’s sit down and
watch the waves,
lapping at the shore.
At this moment,
life feels perfect.
Life is perfect.

TO BE ALONE

At times we want to be alone.
We search for dark corners to hide.
A place to escape from others.
To escape from our problems.
To escape from mindless chatter.
But then you might find yourself
all alone on a beach.
With seagulls as your only company.
Birds squawking at you for
invading their territory.
Man doesn’t belong alone.

TAKE TIME TO ENJOY LIFE

benhorton83:

Take time to enjoy the sunset.
Smell the sea air.
Feel the ocean breeze across your face.
Recharge your batteries for a new day.

THE SIMPLE LIFE

roadlessco:

Life could be simple.
We don’t need all the fancy
trappings that come with our
hectic lives.
Imagine living by the ocean
with endless views of the sky and water.
A boat to take us where we need to go.
The cry of the seagull ringing in our ears.
No big houses with empty rooms
or over-sized electronic devices.
Peace and quiet will soothe our nerves.
We would be able to write and create
to our heart’s desire.
We would feel fulfilled.
No worries about keeping up with the neighbors
for our neighbors will have what we have:
A comfortable home with free time to
enjoy life for the first time.
