Magic at the Water's Edge
By Don Iannone












It is the tide that gives birth to the grains of sand
...that become the beach
...that welcomes the tide's daily coming and going.
And all of this is moved by light
...with the sun by day and the moon by night.
And so is life
...as each moment is born
...as the timeless tide of love washes over it
...giving the light something to reflect upon.
And we find ourselves
...mere grains of sand on the beach of life
...created each moment by love.

Margie...thanks. Yes, i enjoy reading the poems. I was talking to Pat about this. I have been doing more poetry readings in local clubs and coffeehouses and at a few poetry festivals. Poetry is very much a verbal art. Give it a try. I'm sure you'll do very well.
