the day was waking up 

as we walked along the shore

the ocean wore a dress of azure blue

with a bit of white lace at the collar

the water kissed my toes

as you  kissed my lips

and the velvet day began

The imagery can't be ignored. It takes you to the beach and drops the reader in a picturesque setting that so many are familiar with and treasure for an eternity. The sounds of the waves breaking can soothe the most rigid of souls. Now i wish I was on the beach!

[Lydia Shutter]

Thank you so much, Duff. Lydi**

[Robert Trakofler]

That was a deliciously beautiful memory dear Lydi... I am now a bit jealous but grateful for it's share! I must get to a beach and soon!

[Lydia Shutter]

A walk on the beach makes everything right! Thanks so much, Robert. Lydi**

[Robert Trakofler]

[Lydia Shutter]

Thank you very much, Kat. Lydi**

[Dhara_Ditzy Kat]

You're most welcome my friend

[AJNJ]

Such velvet memories in such vivid colors. You walk us gently and beautifully through them. Love never fades...

[Lydia Shutter]

You are so right. Thank you, Pestonjee. I appreciate your review. Lydi**

[AJNJ]

You're welcome dear Ms. Lydi.

Every time I read your words Lydi, I feel a bit like Gerry Garcia saying "I was there, man!"
You took me straight to that beach, where I could smell the sea air and hear the sounds of gulls, giggling children on the pier and almost taste the hot dog and candy floss stalls.
Perhaps coincidence, perhaps my intuition reading into this, but today is to be a scorcher and of all days and reasons to be stuck indoors, I am waiting in for the central heating engineer for my annual inspection (not me, the central heating)
Hopefully will be done by lunchtime and be left a little time to drive down the coastal roads and get to see some of those sights for myself.
I'll look out for that hottie in the hat 😀

[Lydia Shutter]

Not your personal annual inspection? :) You always make me smile, Lorry. Hope you had time to see the ocean and sand today. Thanks so much for your lovely review...and there's no charge for the trip to the beach, man! :) Lydi**

Ah, but that we all could have such velvet days! I had never thought of the ocean as having a blue dress and white collar, but the imagery fits quite well. I'll try to recapture this image as hurricane season progresses.

[Lydia Shutter]

Hurricane Isaias is headed for my neck of the woods...South Florida....tomorrow. I hope he has a dance to go to out east and forgets about us. Thanks for the review, John. Lydi**

[Dave Brown]

That is a little beauty that delivers a wonderful seaside atmosphere and another beautiful piece of art
Not a scratch in the paint

[Lydia Shutter]

No dings or scratches....nope! :) Thanks so much, Dave. Lydi**

[Ana Papaya]

What a beautiful scene to take in. Soft and romantic.

[Lydia Shutter]

Thanks so much, Ana. Lydi**

[Chris Shaw]

What a perfect way to start the day Lydi**. Wonderful scenery and a love who makes you tingle from top to toe. Felt that velvet kiss. Nothing like a romantic stroll along the beach. Keep safe and well my friend.

Thank goodness for memories. They keep us young.

Chris

[Lydia Shutter]

Indeed they do....and I cherish them. Thanks so much, Chris. I hope you and your loved ones are safe. Lydi**

[Chris Shaw]

All good dear Lydi**, fingers crossed :)
