Painted in Romance

And lying there, surrounded by yellow grass, romance painted the sky while the sea, fully surrendering his strength, finally and completely fell in love with the sand.

And like the waves upon a grassy sea I strive, and pass the idle time away. I miss the ocean. 🙂

Beautiful imagery painted with your words!
When I lived in Hawaii–I used to lie on the beach and listen to waves breathing into the sand.
As soon as the water pulled itself out, it quickly returned to fall into the sand again–without hesitation.
Breathe in; breathe out. Life and love in action.
There’s definitely an eternal romance going on there.

  “….listening to the waves breathing into the sand…” that is PERFECT!! I’ve never thought of that before ~ the relationship between the waves and the shore is most definitely an eternal romance! love,love,love it! ❤
