Lift me up and let me fall
Rest my head upon a pillow of sand
Kiss my cheek with waves of love
Raise this mount from ocean floor
Carve your initials in my body
Place a crown of shell upon my soul
Marry my grains to a moment in time.

Wow Dale! The photos and the verse are spectacular. I was transported to a new place and the verse really touched me and brought me there as well. Beautiful. Thank you.
Thank you, Mattie. You bring a great smile to my face with your very kind words. While I may aspire to create art, I only succeed if I do in fact touch others and transport them to places I imagine. Thank you so much!
What a spectacular, miniature fragile world you captured with your lens. Even more stunning in macro and on film than to the naked eye.
It was indeed so neat to see these little mounds of sand, fragile sand castles capped by the jewels of the sea. A world unto itself. 🙂
Thank you.
Lovely words to go with the images. What great captures they are!!
Thank you Dale. It was a fun little experiment inspired by a neat little beach. 🙂
