Today's Ethic ELA asks us to write a poem about your perfect getaway or escape. It may be real or imagined, near or far away, luxurious or wonderfully simple. It may be a place from memory, hope, or longing. My space is just a dream, fashioned from memories of finding peace and happiness at the sea. They arrive with smiles, knapsacks, Stepping out of busy lives, Returning from beyond, Grabbing coffee, sitting briefly Before the sea calls to them, too. Returning sun-kissed, windblown Momentarily carefree, to share On the porch after sunset, Over tea, in the swing, On indefinite walks, at sunrise, Over elaborate sandcastles On a rainy night, sunny morning, Momentarily sharing my dream Returning to the salty memories, life Before pressures, busy live, sweet memories Grabbing a towel for one last dip before Returning to share memories, dreams Stepping slowly, back to the sea They leave my dream. |

These lines are my favorite, right in the middle:
On the porch after sunset,
Over tea, in the swing,
On indefinite walks, at sunrise,
I love it all, but those lines really speak to the simple living, the essence of rural life on a porch swing......at sunset. And for us, it's sweet tea and sometimes a fresh sprig of mint from the bottom of the back porch steps. This is absolutely lovely, Anita!
