AT THE BEACH
The wind picks up. We sit closer, wrap a blanket across our shoulders. Enough hot coffee in the thermos for a half cup each. His hand finds mine. I keep my eyes looking ahead to the horizon where ocean meets sky. Pink, rose, mauve, peach. Mustn't blink or turn away. Mustn't look into his eyes; I'll miss the sunset. I'll miss what we came for. Mustn't…
slow to star shine
sloshing waves bring the tide
and a warning

Thanks, gillena for commenting. We had 57 years of kisses, and the choice was the right one.

So lovely! the photo, the poem, and the meaning!
We are on our last day of hot weather for a while, I hope. How are you doing? I feel like a wilted flower!
Thanks, sandy.
wilted flower is right. i saw a man jogging yesterday at 2:00 p.m. the hottest time of the day. Young and foolish.
Stay cool, stay well
