Walking on the sand...visions return like a lost ol' friend, Let the sun bake me. Watch the dolphins play. Another day missing you. Why do I stay?
Feeling the waves...visions return of younger, better days. Let the sun bake me, Hear the laughter of kids. Another day without you, and the things we did.
Hearing the surf...visions return. I know their worth. Let the sun bake me. The seagulls scream. Another day kissing you, in only a dream.
Seeing the blue...visions fill me. My wife is you. Let the sun bake me. Rip carry me away. No more days without you. Water lead my way.
Let the sun bake me. I've walked & sat on the beach and the heat of the sun indeed can bake thoughts out of you. I enjoyed this great write!

it's based on a local who'd been married over 40 years. his wife passed unexpectedly, and after a few years apparently, it was too much for him. he went swimming in a notorious area fully clothed. sad but beautiful nevertheless.

Hi Beachman, I enjoyed your poem and wanted to introduce myself. I'm Celtic and have several poems here also. I don't know how long you've been here on the corner, but blessings and I look forward to reading more of your works.
