bliss


where the sky 
glides to the sea

in azure dreams  
and mystic mist …………

………… sun kissed, in beryl green 
and sapphire blue

where billowed surf 
and white caps …………

………… roll and break 
upon the shoal

it is my bliss
to just let go ............ and drift ………… 

                                         and drift…………
                                                                              and drift…………
                                                                                                               and drift...

    Sounds like a lovely place to be,
    and to just let go. It is very easy for me to see it
    in my minds eye. Nature is that place for me as well.

    Ah, this is what the seashore does to a person, isn't it? Makes one's thoughts drift and drift and drift. Beautiful photos to accompany your beautiful poem.

    This actually looks like a part of the beach at Wickanninish that I know well....but I imagine there are similar coves in West Vancouver..........the ocean makes me drift too........puts me in a state of perfect peace.

      I believe it was Wickanninish ... the photographs were taken near Tofino. I love that part of the island, so much, though these particular shots were snapped, just last week by my daughter-in-law.

    There certainly places by the sea that have that affect on you (and me!).

    Wendy,

    I lost myself in your words...Drifting aside that beautiful Pacific coastline. Memories of Cambria, California in March..Such a lovely place and your poetic words, returned me there!
