Touched

there is a softness
reaching across the ocean

finding its way towards the glimmer 
of the silvery blue,
while rocks ripple waste-deep
and rays stretch gold, lingering
before diving at the water’s edge
vanishing from sight into the sound
and where with swiftness speckled feathers 
dart to and fro searching, morsels
washed from the tide, as the day spreads
across the deep holding its breath

when hope descends its hue
over those to feel its touch

    a beautiful sense you paint here with a deft "touch" indeed. I like the way this is structured, too...

    Beautiful Imagery

    Well Frans, you have taken me back to my days of living by the seashore and all its beauty in sight and sound. Oh how I miss the adventure I and the children would have each day. Always something new washed upon the shore. What a delightful poem you have penned for us to enjoy. You have a wonderful day my friend.

    Blessings
    To You,
    Sandy

    I loved this for its personification, once again ...

    for it is allegoric display of life: emotions washed on to the Rock, that merely ripples the oceanic surge while standing strong and timeless amidst the tidal ebb and flow ... Beautiful the light that sheers across the bay, with the birds imitating its golden touch and dive to depths of nourishment.

    Such breathless expectation in this poem. Such awe for Dawn's hues of hope.

    Love
    Myra

    This is just lovely, think you need 'tide'? not tied but this just elicits a sigh from me

      I so badly want

      to write a poem without spelling errors!! LoL, never saw it, shows how the mind corrects as it 'reads'. Thanks for pointing this out to me. Frans
