The Wind

The Wind

.

Lying on the silky *strand

A study in immobility

I feel the warm wind

Caressing me

Polishing my skin

With fine grains of sand

And the softest spray of sea

About adeeyoyo

I am a middle-aged South African woman, living in Johannesburg. I began writing poetry towards the end of May 2010. I love animals – sometimes more than people!

    your study in immobility sounds like it is very therapeutic you know…smiles…like a simple meditation in being…

      Ah yes, Brian, it is. I could sit or lie on the beach for hours, just dreaming. I toyed between this title and The Rock. Now I think I prefer the latter.

    When beach is empty and just sound of gulls and lap of waves – polishes my soul too

    You presented a lovely picture Denise.

    My mind goes back to the university days when I idly spent some evenings on the beach hanging my legs to the lapping waves on a rock, watching people play in sand with children forgetting their age, till the lighthouse made circles above my head to indicate it is time for dinner at the hostel.

    Once you miss your sea, perhaps, you miss it forever.

    Now that IS a day at the beach, I could almost smell the salt air. Nice..
