when the sea is still
walking on the seashore just before a rain
even the waves are quiet and gentle as they came up upon the shore
the air heavy with mist
those long lost to the sea
come up then to bathe the tears from their loved ones
and share the healing waters
~
let those who worship summer days
come then
and traipse across the sands
and lay their blankets down
~
I will sit here now
and hold hands with gentle souls
we will not see again
and feel their foggy breath against my cheek
and know a gentle yearning in my soul
when the sea is still
So lovely ... perfect for this 'still' theme !

The ocean is always a great place to be still for sure, gorgeous image and processing.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo and sentiment. It is different to go to the sea in the winter. Just as enchanting, and no crowds traipsing along. Thank you for this peaceful post.
ReplyDeleteI love the beach, anytime, always feels very peaceful - your photo is perfect for still.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, it perfectly sums up the feeling of stillness I love your words
ReplyDeleteI lived for three decades on the Pacific West coast Canada, sometimes in isolated areas, you've taken a breath taking photo that mirrors your lovely prose or vice versa.
ReplyDeleteooooo this is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteEven though there is very little color in this shot, it's still beautiful! I love the serene feel of the beach fading into the sea and sky.
ReplyDeleteOh this is so lovely..both the prose and the photos.. very emotional, but is a quiet way.. Michelle from Nature Notes...
