I stood on the seashore,
Enjoying the cool breeze,
Gentle waves hitting my toes,
As if calling to my soul.
The whole experience was ethereal,
And I’m not talking about the beauty.
Something stirred within me,
The sea was calling me.
I was captivated right there,
The serenity enveloped me,
Called me to walk towards it,
Be one with the sea.
I was in a trance,
Walking deeper into it,
Half my body submerged,
It felt like going home.
The world around me disappeared,
It was only me and the sea;
The gentle wave and the cool breeze,
Said that’s where I’m supposed to be.
Then I felt a firm hand grab me,
Pulling me out of the sea,
Breaking that captivating trance.
Damn! That was scary!

Watch out! This sounded scary reading it, LOL
Haha! Thanks for the read. ❣️Did you enjoy it?
Yes but I’m glad you snapped out of it 😉 don’t want to see you drown! Plus sharks. . . riptides. . .
Haha!! Nothing would happen to me. I’m a mermaid! 🤪😉😉
Oh OK, I didn’t know that. But now I do, so I won’t worry for you. But I heard Mermaids are dangerous, themselves.
Haha! What’s life without a little bit of danger? 😬
In the words of Maverick, “You’re right, Iceman… I AM dangerous.”
🤪🖤
Are you new to blogging? I just recently found you but I am enjoying it. Hope you stay consistent
I gave up on blogging four years ago. This time, I’m here to stay! 😬❣️
Hope so! It sucks to make new friends on here and then they disappear =P
I’m committed to staying.❣️
Woohoo 🙂
But can you ever really trust a Wild Heart?
Always! ❣️
Haha, great!!!

Indeed!
how long can this thread go on?
As long as you wish! 🤗
🤪 I run out of things to say
Haha
LOLz – you know comments boost a posts exposure on WordPress
I had no idea. But thank you!! Guess our conversation is doing this post good. 😅💕
ya maybe we can set a record. Is there a limit??? 😉
I don’t think there is a limit. But we’ll run out of things to talk about. 😅
I already did a few times but somehow it keeps going
True!
Apt picture, perfect title, lovely choice of words.
Thank you so much dear. Your appreciation means so much to me! Keep reading, take care & stay safe! ❣️💕
My pleasure.
Beautifully composed.
Thank you so much Parikhit! 🙈❣️
Great twist at the end.
The poem starts out beautiful, romantic and meditative.
And then the hand grabs the narrator from the sea.
And was the hand possibly one’s mischievous nephew …. or a serial killer with a chainsaw waiting on the beach?
It’s left up to the reader to imagine.
Hehe… Thank you so much! I’m so glad you liked it. 💕💕 🙈 Take care & stay safe! ❣️
I love how you wove this and then added the dynamic finale. Brilliant piece and thank you so much for participating.
Thank you Eugenia for the amazing prompt! ❣️❣️💕💕 I’m so glad you enjoyed it. 🙈🤗🤗🤗😘
What a beautiful poem.
I loved it.
I’ve recently recorded my love for the ocean in Hindi. I’ll put up on Instagram soon.
Thank you so much Sumit!
You have such a beautiful voice. Your recitations give me goosebumps!! ❣️
That’s a big thing to hear from you, Shreya.
Tonight, I’m gonna try something new with a couplet recital. I hope you like that ☺
I’ll definitely listen to it. ❣️
Nice work. I wonder where the poem would go if the hand pulled you out further into the sea or even down below, way down into the deep?
Maybe I’d turn into a mermaid and rule the underwater life. 😍😍😍
Oh, I did read this! Love it! Really! 💕
Thank you so much Dave. 🙈🤗😘💕❣️❤️
beutiful lovely
Thank you so much Praveen! 🤗❤️💕😘
Hey this is somewhat of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding knowledge so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Heyy, you don’t need coding to start a blog.
