Azure fragments cut through nightfall.
I close my eyes and feel
the caress of chilled breeze
take a deep breath and absorb
this delicate beckoning night—
The scent of lime on salty air.
Seducing me with it's warm touch.
It caresses my skin as silk
gracing with silent embrace.
The wind moves towards the shore
The waves wrap my feet
as sand sinks them
The current dances
with tempo of my beating heart—
Light extends like a banshee
everything but
the Moon’s glory lies in shadows.
and I... gone astray—
forever living in the spirit of nature
Leaving the chaos of urbanity
as I stretch my soul quietly
over the canopy of twilight.
Author notes
*The Gaia I am referring to is the Gaia hypothesis which concludes that we are all part of a continuous spirit of nature. According to the theory we are all part of each other but we get lost when we focus on the individuality that society makes us accept.

I'd sure like to see a gold there instead of the HM because it sure is worthy of gold in my opinion. I can feel the salt air and the breeze...your imagery stays in the mind long after the reading is over. Thank you for sharing this beauty with our group.
