No longer can it be postponed,
sweet ache of quiet serenity,
the siren call to the surf side view.

Aquamarine waves slowly recede;
the revelation of sand flats,
fingerprinted whorls and ridges
with random strands of seaweed
broken shells and stones.

A starfish fallen from the dark teal sky
forlornly resides among the seagulls’
footprinted hieroglyphics.

Darkness enfolds the night;
as desire stands on the threshold of an epiphany
with a need to walk the white-crested path,
to touch the luminous moonstone.

You give a vivid description of how the sea affects your emotions. Very elegant dance with words. Joyce

Excellent, Wordancer.
Makes me long for a real walk on the moonlit beach. But the poem is experience enough for now.
I loved it as usual.

good to see you back on track..Lovely images to ponder here.

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

Glorious descriptive poetic write! The beach my favorite and you brought it all alive...You are truly a gifted poet, my friend..
