Never Enough.
And to read that sand feels soft was
never enough for me.
I must with bare feet watch toes
move its looseness and
feel the elation of beautiful touch.
And to be told that sound heals was
never enough until sweet
bird-song filled my ears with
dawn's early chorus by
first hearing its undeniable proof.
And to feed eyes with enough for me
means seeing life's passion
for hiding each fragrance and allow
sated experience dance me
to the wonder of sense-satisfaction.

One thought says put down that book pf learning and go out there to feel the sand between your toes. Only then can you return to the book and KNOW what the many textures of sand wet and dry feel like in welcome and unwelcome places against our flesh of experience.
Love the lustful energy of the last verse.
Ha ha - Your comment leaves me again with a smile dear Dusky - can just imagine you with bare feet walking on pebbly sand and saying loud "Ouches" - - - - glad you like the lustful energy of the concluding verse though !
Dear Fay
You gave me a nostalgia
I wish to play
Play on the beach
Running behind the waves
Sinking deep in the sand that lay astray
Wonderfully penned
I could feel each line in a different way
As long as you were able to look back with nostalgia what more could I ask - - a pleasure to read your generous comment on Never Enough my friend.
superbly stated throughout as one has long come to expect from such a mistress of words .. but that concluding line - 'to the wonder of sense-satisfaction' simply left me gagging for more ........................ x
Ha - - my dear dear friend you are so kind with your generous review - -but I like it and thank you - - glad too that you were drawn to the last line cos I hoped it would be an apt conclusion. ...........x
