When love's your companion, a walk can involve more than exercize; and the discoveries you can make cover much more than the landscape.

Ocean Sound
Morning's light stretches me
Past the shadows of drowsy homes.
Wedged views of water grow larger,
A crabbed descent to the level shore.
My pace lengthens, finds its rhythm.
Mountains and salty tang enchant me
And I wish you by my side.
My pace falters, thinking how you
Would stroll more than stride,
Dawdle and wonder at tiny marvels,
While I wrapped muscles around ideas.
I stride again, rhythm restored,
And find you already here,
Celebrating with me our miracle:
Love's common cadence
Amid our singular styles
And our singular senses.
-Charlie Neff

This is the first of your pieces I have had the opportunity to read. I am very much impressed. It reminds me of my love of the ocean, and when my wife and I are on the beach together, how she pauses to examine all the small details while I am in a rush to see what lies ahead. There's no place quite like the ocean. It's amazing how something so powerful can offer such tranquility. Thanks for the reminder.

| Wow! I am utterly enchanted by your rhythm and flow in this well-crafted piece. The imagery is potent and vivid, grabbing the reader's consciousness from the very first line. I could practically feel the ocean spray on my face as you developed each line of the poem. Nicely done. |

| At first I thought "she" was not with the narrator of the poem, but of course at the end, she was. Still . . . one could assume that even though "she" wasn't there . . . she really was. Whatever! Good poem. |
