white sunshine, Carolina beaches <br />my happy times, my hearts divine retreat <br /> <br /> <br />the salty wind, the oceans wave <br />runs wild through my hair <br /> <br /> <br />the moon, the compass of the sea <br />my heart, ruler of my mind & soul <br />even under light blue skies <br /> <br />there are people everywhere <br />not like how I remember <br />prime time summer weather <br />children playing in what's left of the high tide <br /> <br />a mental shot, capturing these lazy days surrounding me <br />headphones in, Pink Floyd in my mind <br />and I'm comfortably numb again <br />on my Island of memory, Hilton Head. <br /> <br />I walk along the shore like when I was a kid <br />dancing to the beat of my own rhythm <br />and I sing of hope instead of sorrow: <br />I took the little ghost of me away on holiday.<br /><br />Leah Ayliffe<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/in-the-sun-i-feel-as-one/
