Sweet Melody

I heard your lingering voice again

muzzled, slightly, by melodic waves

as the early morning salty spray

tickled my nostalgia prone heart

I heard that happiness now lives with you

I'm glad that the shattering tsunamis

of heartache and emptiness is gone

I can only wish 

that the music of your beautiful soul

will continue to crash on the shores of life

and that all who see the fire in your life-giving eyes

will play new melodies

like runaway cellos -

their probing strings

capturing hearts

just like you caught mine

that day

on that wind-swept beach in the sky.

A thrilling poem.

I love the generous imagery that sweeps me off my feet. So beautiful and peaceful.
My lungs are full of romantic air and ears caressed by the melodious wishes.

Just gorgeous!!!

I was so easily wrapped within your words, and the ambiance of the wind-swept beach.

"I can only wish
that the music of your beautiful soul
will continue to crash on the shores of life"

The music of a cello immerses my soul, much like a violin. I really enjoyed this!
