Sunday By The Sea


On a Sunday spree
She reserves a spot for me
In the sea which drifts away
The sky loses its fearsome glow
And breaks into an intimate smile
For the outsider to dream its head upon

There is a window where the gull can fly
And paint the firmament with his wings
Part the clouds with a psalm
Though the day is not written yet
The afternoon tastes promising

The use of shoes no longer required
Here the sea beseeches you to retire
As the wind lifts you with invisible wings
Sunset exhales upon the body

Inspired by the image from Magpie Tales & Sunday Whirl

Ahh, I like a Sunday spree. The picture is great because it looks like I could reach my hand into the water. Well done.

Memories I have yet to make. Thank you for introducing me. If only she had a Twitter account, I could follow her every move. Funny how she is constantly in motion yet never quite changes her location. Fantastic!

Sorry about the multiple comments. I don't know what happened but it seems I can't erase them to make just one.

Some lovely lines here; I like the image of a gull painting the firmament and parting the clouds with a psalm - a real Sunday feel to it.
