Credits: Foot-prints in the sand

Today Chèvrefeuille is inspired by “Sand and Foam” by Gabril Kahil which is the first prompt of this month. I am still shocked that August has come so quickly!

I am forever walking upon these shores,
Betwixt the sand and the foam,
The high tide will erase my foot-prints,
And the wind will blow away the foam.
But the sea and the shore will remain
Forever.

© Khalil Gibran

What a wonderful poem to set the mood.

This first prompt of this new CDHK-month is almost a little episode of Carpe Diem “Distillation” and of course you may use the goals of CD-distillation for this episode, that’s all up to you, feel free …

Chèvrefeuille shares a lovely poem once shared in February 2012 for the Haiku Challenge of SiS.

a little verse
to leave my footprint on the Internet
scent of Honeysuckle

scent of Honeysuckle
makes me slumberous
dreaming of passion

dreaming of passion
while walking along the seashore
with the one I love

with the one I love
I undertake a journey
into oblivion

into oblivion
with my pencil and paper
a little verse

a little verse
caught me years ago with it’s beauty –
addicted forever

Well, my heart goes pitter patter to that poem and sets me in the right mood for this:

walking on wet sand
eyes closed, breathing in echoes
seagulls

seagulls
squawking along the beach
waves rumble

waves rumble
water rising up my legs
erasing footprints

erasing footprints
loves lost, hearts broken
tears streak

tears streak
evokes blissful desires lit,
walking on wet sand

walking on wet sand
musings blow in the wind
turn into love poems.
