Love Carries

Love Carries

Love carries like an ocean’s tide
Carries along two lovers
By the shoreline
The cold wind against them
Under overcast skies
As they bask in the sunlight
Of love filled eyes

     Inspired by a long walk on the beach--
          in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

    I can see how the beach moved you in such a way to write about it's beauty. Myrtle Beach is amazing I've been there a few times.
