This is chapter 20 in the Series: Poetry of Life, Death & the In-between

I walked along the beach today remembering you 

so many words I cannot say, so many memories through 

I cried seeing the beauty, I laughed forgetting the pain 

A sad heart beats in me,  sad since you came 

into my life one day and in a moment fled away… 

This storm in my mind of near-forgotten images, sensations: 

an A-frame…a sunset…cold crashing waves…

cool sand…bare feet…washing…washing…washing

brushes of peace. . .touches of love. . .now so far far away… 

I walked along the beach today… 

I cried as sunlight glistened on the waves… 

waves rushing, crashing, receding, fleeing 

away 

I fly away 

I kneel to pray for a new day 

an old life long gone away… 

the beauty—I see it here, feel it near, sounds I hear. . .

the truest beauty rushed upon me, washed over me… 

& crashed away 

I walked along the beach today

remembering you.

Hopefully I’ll get some good photos next month of a sandy beach very close to the one in the poem.  If I’m successful and happy with the painted outcome these will be switched out for more accurate illustrations.  Until then, here are 2 more original photos edited using FreshPaint.
