Return to Serenity Point

Something on the softer side this time...

The wind whispered like a forgotten friend,

Ripples in the water escaped to dance,

And the sun bowed in the glow of humility.

Bathed in the day's lullaby,

Rocks glisten with the sea's kiss,

And the shore begs for its tidal embrace.

Rays fade beyond the horizon,

Carrying the evening warmth away,

And the chill grasps in desperation.

A mind wanders to places unseen,

Thoughts serene, memories imagined,

And the night takes hold at last.

Footsteps drift away slowly,

Lost along uncertain paths,

And the stones ahead stretch away.

A soul troubled follows blindly,

Senses calling from mystery,

And the longing awakens.

A smile emerges reluctantly.

Glimmering hope reaches out,

And the future beckons invitingly.
