Ocean Walk
I’ve reached the midpoint
The place where I have to turn
Going back where I came from
My way here was wondrous
Boisterous, powerful
Alone
I walked away from my childhood home
Until I could walk no further
I’ve reached the midpoint
The place where I have to turn
Going back where I came from
I’m going to walk back
closer to the water
even though my foot prints may be erased
I will have been able to touch infinity
And that is good enough for me
Every shell
Every stone
Touched by the ocean water
Glistens and shines
They are so noticeably alive
Those that are dry
So dulled and lifeless
So I choose to walk near the water
Even though my memory is erased
I still will have glistened and shone
Even though my memory was erased
Even though everything was changed
When I walked away from my childhood home
I still will have glistened and shone
I still will have glistened and shone
Wonderful poetic words of Ocean Walk and such beautiful pictures of the Ocean that is so clean and bluish in all her splendour.

Beautiful to read, for me, kind of melancholic and bittersweet: what remains and what it is washed away.

Thanks, Steve. Hopefully not TOO melancholic…I don’t ever want people to walk away depressed. 🙂 Though there is a sadness in realizing our memories won’t last forever, I still think each of our lives makes an impact. Especially yours…you bring a great bit of ingenuity to us all, and I always appreciate your feedback. Have a good week 🙂
