Quiet moments

Wrapped in surrender

The tease of an ocean breeze 

bringing a soft memory 

dancing with the moon... 

across the milky way 

humming your favorite tune  

of true love in early June... 

The scent of lavender as 

sandpipers find sweet reprieve 

among dunes of yesteryear... 

seashells wash upon the shore 

holding specks of gold and 

mysterious tales of love untold... 

Shades of repose in tears of 

sweet kisses of surrender... 

lavender and rose line the 

horizon of dreams where 

hearts entwine on waves of 

adventure and destiny...

The ailments put here, especially the lavender and rose line add more charm into your poem. I almost forgot to get the story behind it as I was lost in your choice of words... Its really great to hear the rhymes, although the last stanza doesn't rhyme, still it creates a concluding sense itself. Different ideas are gathered to get a finished and beautiful work which absolutely is a difficult task. I appreciate the way you started and concluded, all the words felt most amazing to me. Where in you could have added some more lines in order to describe something more of it....
Good job!!!

dear Anindita, I appreciate your charming review.
We live in a city where the Rappahannock River
runs through it and out to the Potomac. Touches of
the American Indians and later on the Civil War.
We live in an emotional state of mind and find solace
in the rapids and sounds of nature.

I can understand that. This world is full of hostility. And I think writers are the only beings who can get peace at least in their writings... So I started my journey in writing at a young age. I hope you get tranquility in your writings...

dear Anindita, in order to stay healthy in mind and body, it is necessary to enjoy the beauty of nature... the bird songs and even the snow in winter replenishes the nurturing of Spring. Every season has therapy for our soul. truly, Pat

the music of the seagulls as they glide
In beauty against a periwinkle blue sky
of romantic overtures of passionate sighs.
