an older poem from a better time in my life. Maybe being more positive WILL help
“Walk On The Beach”
=====================
Where the ocean
touches land,
we left footprints
in the sand.
An orange glow
as it began to set,
the sun reflected
off sand still wet.
– – – – – – – – – – –
Sereneded
by the gentle roar,
of the surf
as it crashed ashore.
We walked alone
along the beach,
all our dreams
within our reach.

I take it from the beach and sea references that you lived by the sea once? were you happier because you were near the sea and/or with someone. I know was happier, relatively speaking, when I lived in the mountains now I live by the sea again
I was happier then because I had someone in my life
FTS, I don’t know how I missed this one. This really hits home. I lived at the beach with the love of my life, and this perfectly sums up the feeling of bliss & hope & dreams I/we once had.
It’s all gone now. And my memories of the beach are disappearing too. I’ll never be able to go back there. But thanks for this poem that reminded me that once, long ago, I had it pretty damn good.
I posted this one because I was asked about writing about positive stuff. I can, and I have, but I write what I feel at the time. Obviously, this is from a time when I was happier. I’m sure I’ll write more like this at some point in the future (if I ever meet someone again).
