Fountain of Youth Art by: Jim Warren

Ripples 

Loving ripples on an
ocean blue
Light bright sun
glimmer gliding
Soft silky surf curls
lapping at my feet
And dancing in the
swell of blue kisses
I think of you
across oceans of
love

Silently almost, the surf
caresses the white sand
In an endearing grin, 
of passion -- surging
Full -- released in
sizzling hot silicon 
crystals of sand
And I sigh for your
nearness, your touch
The sun's mellow
loveliness
Kissing my back

Lovingly, softly, in
a dance of joy
I kick the sand
Scattering sprays of
diamonds through
the salty silence
And praise the earth
for its beauty
Its bountiful presence
And I dream 
a vision --
Of white silk and
loving
