Love Poem: The Dunes of Ossabaw

The Dunes of Ossabaw

We walked by them… The lovers on the beach… The night hid our presence and the waves silenced our passing. There was no missing the intensity of their caresses and the throes of their passions in the gentle falling of night. We walked softly to honor their magic. The lighthouse sparkled in your eyes and the quiet laughing in your smile echoed the warmth of younger days. On an island, long ago, the dunes of Ossabaw had whispered such spells and we, in our youth, had listened to the ocean’s love songs. The return to our camp passed in rich silence. Under the amber glow of candles the adventure returned and I fell in love.. again.
