Poem: Sun, Sea, Sand, Soul.

Durban, South Africa, Marine ParadeSun, Sea, Sand, Soul
I lose myself, staring at
The red eye in the sky.

I lose myself, listening to
The song of surf on sand.

The Indian Ocean mere inches from my feet:

Salty sea spray,
Playing an ageless tune.
Sealing men’s souls within
The fine grains of sand.

    Wow sounds like an exotic and beautiful place… The pic is gorgeous!
    Pensive tone… the poem… but yeah, like carrie, I can hear the waves :)
