The talented Margaret Mair, an island girl like myself, with a painting – and poem – for people like me who wish they were on a tropical beach this cold Ontario morning….
Boats on the Beach (St Martin), Margaret Mair, original art
It calls, the sea,
To the restless boat
Uncomfortably cotched
On a sandy shore,
Longing for
Rocking waves
And cooling current
And the feel
Of wake moving
Singingly along
Her planked hull,
Dreaming of
Sliding pleasurably
Through the
Welcoming water
And leaving a path
Of lacy bubbles
Across the warm sea
To mark
Her gentle passage.
So may we travel
Leaving only
A beautiful lacery
Of memories
In our wake.

The sun came out today in north Texas, giving us a lacery of not-too-cold breezes and clouds. Sunny smile headed your way.
Excellent. Thank you!
Ah, sweet memories. 🙂
Yes, indeed.

You are most welcome. It’s my pleasure.
Love that. It’s really visual and I like the message. 😉
