Time Sighs
~~~
The sunset pulls colors across the sky
Like a child pulling salt-water taffy
Stretching the joy of summer days
White sands bow the aquamarine
Blue waves curl like ribbon candy
To murmur and laugh on the shore
Mixed with splashing feet at play
Kingdoms rise wrought by little hands
Sculpted by imagination
Hibiscus kisses the air sweet
And lovers say secret words
A fisherman casts his line
Bearing the bronze of his trade
Shimmered vessel plies the horizon
Like a snail on a wrinkled leaf
And time sighs, just for a moment
That you may savor life’s beauty

I love it when time sighs when you’re enjoying the moment. Lovely work my friend!
Thank you Francisco! I appreciate your kind words always!
You’re very welcome Brad!
You truly brought visualization to life with your words! Very lovely and well done, brother!
Thanks sis! Love you!
the sighs are the most memorable of all of life, the moment freezes
Thanks Beth! May your days be filled with such moments!
Yes, you captured it. Wish those moments and your verse could stretch on….
Thank you, Geoff!
your images remind me of why I love summer; now I want to go to the beach…
Maybe you should hit the beach. The next semester will be here before you know it!
We are going to try!
I could envision that sunset on the beach. A new favorite, my dear! So exquisitely written. 😍
Thank you Kristian! Hope you are both well and happy!
