Think Tank Thursday

Poets United prompt# 42 is love. Cute photo Robb of you and Amber, your soon to be bride! I wish you the best of the best~  Funny, the minute I saw this prompt, all these love songs started playing in my head. Then I decided for fun to find the Top 10. Well, it is according to which top 10, ballads, greatest hits,duets, alternative, movies, musical scores, etc.  Tons of research there... I've been sick and trying to plan a head a bit on the A-Z blogging challenge and work on items to go in my Etsy store.  I went all winter without being sick. Spring arrives and  the up n' down in temps, finally caught up with me.  If you get a chance, you might want to go visit Scarlett, she signed up to do the A-Z blogging challenge. She could use some kind words, prayers or both, at this difficult time.

I met my love, near the bay
where Heaven kisses the sea n' hugs the shore
Calm n' strong reside here
Sunrise, sunsets come n' go
 Change the only constant
Tidal pull transforms you
Treasures arrive in tireless gentle or rough seas
Waves of translucent white n' blue dissipate
Edges blurred
Transformed waves wash over you
Erodes the hard edges
Allure anchors you, ripples remain as focus shifts
Memories rush over us, can one recapture the wave
that first flooded one's heart?
Sea caresses your timeless journey
Tugging at one's heart, as we paddle onward
to the journey of our souls,
The swirl, the break, the force pulls us in,
as we wade into a transformed life.



*Still waters run deep~English Proverb~

Love the poem, even its rhythms reminded me of the sea, and your imagery captures so much of the love relationship. The final photo speaks to me of treasured memories.
