Lavender Sky



for Hannah's prompt at Real Toads : Lavender

I'm in love with this place,
with its lavender sky,
its shining sands, the seabird's cry,
where every tree is a friend,
every rock knows my name.
In love with the sea,
one is never, after, the same.

The sun sets low, the skies aglow,
this perfect moment
all I know.
The beauty saturates my soul,
and I am Home, 
in my home of homes,
peaceful, joyous,
whole.

In lavender dreams I float
across a lavender sky,
and no one ever loved a dream
as much as I.

Sigh. Home, my friends, and it was all spectacular, and perfect. I did take photos, of the harbour, as I couldnt get to the beach without wheels. I will post them tomorrow. Am tired, and replete, and needing some rest!

  15. Pretty skies, pretty name for them. I am glad you could come up, everyone ought to go home now and then. There isn't much left of my original home, the home I was born in. It was bulldozed down.

  17. "...not after the same". The ocean front is a gift of continuous change. I love that too about it. My wish for you is this was permanent and not a vacation. But it is still a gift. I look forward to those images. Ill go look now.
