The night ….. is momentarily silent…..
generations of irregular pebbles
cluster within their shared demesnes
of cushioning sand…..
anxiously awaiting their pending conterminous locale
Co-authored by
coiling tidal surf
mysterious flotsam
enigmatic jetsam
omnidirectional zephyrs
Gleefully combining….
stony resolve
liquid humour
frothy indulgence
breezy randomness
Writing the script
of their intertwined destinations
all with each
each with every
every with all
withal
A stalwart footstep interrupts…..
nay, intersects, this
rhythmic
hypnotic
continuous
midnight seashore drama
Her subsequent stride
reveals and rejoins…..
granite and granule
driftwood and drifters
foam and fantasy
present and presence
direction and desire
Step after step
Beachcomber walks,
nay, dances…..
witness to
each and every
coastal performance
swirling amidst her temporal journey
She is overwhelmed
with
gratitude…..
New Moon over Chesterman
shyly permits
ancient stellar dawns
to visibly arrive ….only just now
Odysseys undertaken
billions of years past…..
If only we could commit
with such depth of existence
as light itself
has…..
from the beginning of time…..
Beachcomber lifts her eyes
and
at
that
perfect
moment…..
An eons old crystal
artistically carves out
a perfect white slash
briefly bisecting the charred evening canvas….
Then explodes
with hoarded energy
from the birth of the cosmos…..
solely for her ….. interpretation
All is illuminated within that perfect, singular instance…..
Commitments and Conflicts
Decisions and Destinies
Apologies and Anxieties
Truths and Loyalties
Infinity …..and Life
Each decision has always been hers to make…….
If a New Moon gifts Clarity…..
Imagine what a Full Moon can reveal…..
Memoirs of a Dragon 
your words took me right back for a quick trip to the beach.
I had a walk on the beach today in anticipation of writing….something, as I never truly know what I will scratch out. BUT this was based on a real occurrence when my daughter and I were walking at midnight, on a very special beach, and a meteor exploded above us and lit up the beach!
It is a beautiful story and such a happy memory for both of you. Blessings, Barbara
I liked this one very much, Dragon. The form you used reminded me of the ebb and flow of the tides, which makes a nice touch on such lovely words. I like that you bring sea and sky together, too. They are so separate and yet, so much a single unit when one stands on the beach to take in both of them. Written like a true beachcomber. 🙂
Thank you again! I do like to incorporate sea and sky within my words, and I am fascinated by tides.
This was tearfully beautiful…the addition of Seuss at the end, this twist and journey, bringing me quite completely to the center of the woman/girl existence…so well done.
Thank you! I am truly humbled that my words have had such an impact on you.
Reblogged this on Lyrical Love and commented:
I can’t even say how enchanting this was.
Thank you again. You are the first to have reblogged any of my words and for that I am grateful. I based this on an actual event – my daughter and I were walking on a very special beach, at midnight, and a meteor exploded right above us! One of those perfect moments I have experienced…..
A gorgeous moment captured…
Love this. Felt the waves and felt the wonder. Lovely
Thank you! Walking on beaches seems to fuel my imagination!
“If a New Moon gifts Clarity…..
Imagine what a Full Moon can reveal…..”
In just two simple lines you have expressed so much, so beautifully. A lovely place you have here.
Thank you for your generous words!
You’re words gripped my mind with such inspiration and joy.

Thank you! I am humbled by your kind words and very appreciative that you have enjoyed my ‘digital scratchings’.
Fabulous writing. Held me captive from beginning to end, as I too, became a ‘Beachcomber’…I like the fact you incorporated various ‘historical, mythological aspects to your publication. Most impressive.
Thank you! I try to beachcomb every day, or at least, cycle so close, I feel the spray!
Exquisite and exotic expression of words. Amazing poetry.
