Drifting....

Drifting....

A Poem by MsJewel
"

~ the perfect winter afternoon on a Southern California beach...80 degrees and drifting.... ~

"

         

            art ~ Janet Hill

 

 

Once upon a balmy breeze

 I drift…

           poetry flowing from my heart

 

As graceful

as the rhythm of simple rhymes

swimming in an ocean of sapphire kissed daydreams

with seagulls singing backup

in perfect harmony

 

As warm

as the fantasy

built around a sandcastle of romance

now fragile in this balmy breeze

 

Yet still as hopeful

as the flower tucked behind my ear,

reminiscent of spring,

listening carefully for whispers of happily ever after

 

As once upon a balmy breeze…

                                    I drift

Julie, Now I REALLY feel cold. Brrrr.....! It's always heartening to read your consistently beautiful poetry. I remember the southern California climate, the lazy breeze blowing the palms on trees until they sway joyfully. A glass of iced tea in my hand (with an umbrella in it) (the tea, that is...not my hand). I wish you would release your poetry on CD so I can listen in my car while stuck in traffic...these kind of poems could melt the aggravation away with ease. Thank you, Julie. (It was either this or swear at you for rubbing my nose in it). take care...dan

This poem is as gentle as a whisper and as light as the morning mist Julie. The choir of sea and birds is magnificent imagery and the castle metaphor is so very skillfully employed.
A beautiful dream. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you Anto :) Julie
I've most definitely told you this before. your writing has a wonderful feathery touch. also, it is so uplifting that when I'm done reading, I always find myself hovering a couple of inches above my seat.
I'm drifting.

This has a wonderful and refreshing feel to it. I could hear the seagulls and smell the saltwater. There was a time when I wanted to live on the beach.

Sometimes poems are written from grief or love or just to release what we feel inside of us and you always do it so beautifully Julie. :) Larry
