I sit here by the waters edge
Sticking barnacles and tiny clam shells to my toes
When the sun shines they really look like diamonds
Glistening and sparkling
The foam of the surf caressing my soul
The coolness of the sea softens my hot seared body
I always love the way diamonds shine in the sun
Knowing full well, these shells are just part of natures joy
But to me, they are perfect
As the tide beckons me
I rise, and dance around in the shallows
Praising the sea for her wonderful music
With diamonds on my toes
And sand in my hair
I am a child of the sea
Earth, fire,air and water
I welcome the sea
For she calls me daughter
She holds in rhythms that have been played for a thousand years
Or more, more than I'll ever know
With the sun in my face, diamonds on my toes and crystals on ancient
sand gleaming on my skin, suddenly I know

Love how this piece refuses the boundaries of any conventional form - it is free floating like one's spirit during a really good vacation.
Don't you just love it when the sea does that to you?
A soothing piece from an undeniable talent - reading it was utterly pleasureable from beginning to end. -

Oh my, your words could heal the sick
This was so soothing, like a solace for the wounded's heart
Dreamy and divine, your images are simply, beyond beautiful
Love you,

I love this. It had a wonderful dream like quality that made me want to enter into.
I sit here by the waters edge
Sticking barnacles and tiny clam shells to my toes
When the sun shines they really look like diamonds
Glistening and sparkling
The foam of the surf caressing my soul
I love this. It's a great beginning to set up the mood.
A nice secluded beach and the music of the sea. Wow I wish I were there!
Thank you for a nice uplifting thought to start off the day.

I'm so enchanted by this character down by the water. I can almost see her there soaking it in. I enjoy her moment almost as much as she does. How exciting to get so drawn into your work. I want to see so much more.

Ya know, when I first read the title of this poem I was thinking to myself, "Barnacles on my toes?" Now this is strange! Then I opened it and read it and couldn't help but smile. I really like the imagery, the flow, and the overall content. This submission will certainly make it to my favorites and I know I'll go back to it many times over when I need that reassuring smile once again. Keep up the great work!
Much Love,
Sandii
