Whenever I look at this cottage scene, I am transported to a peaceful place where all it takes to experience the amazing sand and sea, is a little imagination and a deep desire to walk along the beach, to hear the waves lapping against the shore, to find smooth glass and shells that only nature can provide. Come take a look and follow!
Follow Me...
If thou wouldst dream...follow me...
Discover clouds
That scud across the bluest of blue skies,
Wandering west and east,
Lending life
Visions
Of feathery castles in the air.
If thou wouldst dream...follow me...
Uncover shells upon the sand
In which one may hear
Distant yearnings, echoes,
Of the stormy sea,
Pirates shipwrecked
To the north and to the south.
If thou wouldst dream...follow me...
Follow fields
That surge and sway
In swelling waves
Of amber, green, and gold,
Whose stirring whispers
Harbor secret footpaths of the past.
If thou wouldst dream...follow me...
Seek sounds of pleasure
From within the silence
Of a forest woodland,
Then find they speak in tongues
With gentle metaphors
Of love.
... it reminds me of the flower boxes on the old front porches billowing with begonias ... the door open on a hot summery day ... with lemonade in the cool shade ... Have a beautiful weekend.
