                The beach with all its glory and majestic beauty, from the sand - to the cresting sea ~ This makes me yearn for the ocean!~ Beautiful

                    Lovely imagery and nice word choice.
                
                Like you, I enjoy nature and I feel God's presence (His serenity and His strength) renewing and refreshing me.  Good job on this one!

                    Wonderful Poem Mike.
                
                I guess you should be going away more often.  

 You came back with a lovely peom.  Great description, it makes the whole experience comes alive for me, eventhough I was not there.  Great Job.  Sophie.

                    Oh, Mike! This is so fabulous, I was at the beach with you. I love lighthouses and so I cling to the beach. Your opening stanza:
  Here in this moment 
  With the wind on my face
  I realize I have become dependent
  On its gentle embrace 
  I was absolutely taken with this imagery. I can see you had a great time. I long for the beach, it refreshes the writer so. sam
