June 20: Ethical ELA: Just a Dream

 

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.
