To Just Run

Have you ever wanted to just run….

To run along a white trimmed beach
with little yellow shells buried half
in the sand along the water’s edge,
almost hidden by tiny crystal bubbles
left by the new tide washing the shore.

To run smiling, almost laughing with
little thoughts and fantasies twirling
in your mind and reflecting in your
eyes, along with the setting sun,
so red and so beautiful.

Have you ever wanted to just dance….

To dance around and around till you
fall, looking up at the sun kissed clouds
that were made just for you to enjoy with
your imagination of seeing flying horses
and little bear faces.

Yes, have you ever wanted to just run….

    Love this poem – what beautiful visions I had whilst reading it…

    Perhaps I’m no longer a child but the little girl in me still loves to run along the beach, find shells and dance about….

    Beautifully written…

    The frolicking is less and the strolling is more at my age Rog – but my imagination sure takes me running! Congrats on being chosen to be ‘featured’ buddy.

    Bro, you should come to the Nelson Bays in New Zealand for our summer.
    If I had to guess from this, you’d feel at home.
