To my family of friends
genuine concerne simply expressed
better then a thousand fake smiles
a disheartened souls, ernest relief
a patchwork quilt of comfort
received, not percieved but visible
tangible hugs, felt yet not physically
a wannabe poet, salved with word of balm
encouraged, his heart lightened by friends
I truly care for all of you........... thank you.......... _Neal
my kids are safe in washington state........the authorities are filing parental kidnapping charges. I am not sure when I will get to see them again.

Happy News!
Sad to hear they were missing
Happy to know you'll be kissing
I know what you'd probably druther
But please don't say bad of their mother
Her heart may be bad to make you so sad
But don't be a cad
Be better...
Just act like a dad.
Regards, Rybka

Ah, but surely this beats not knowing if you will get to see then again... and this certainly makes it good news.

Sitting on the backporch, watching the ocean, listening to the rustle of the wind, no time beckoning. But distant on the breeze, the sound of concrete trees.
Around and 'round the Sun we go,
Filling our heads with submission.
A crowded moment upon heads' pin
And we without calm intermission.
Yoga, Zen, Prayer, Tai-Chi
Comfort to center the balance within,
But many can't stop for want of going
Their lives, a treadmill spin to win.
But stop! Let the air flow by you today.
Life's not a race or train to catch.
Cast off the rules, jump over the fence.
Disappear for a while to let joy hatch.
Enter the arms of Mother Earth,
Cool water, tender earth, warm fire.
Roots grow deep for the tenderness there
To expand your soft, calming desire.
A moment's expansion takes a day away --
Breathe deep the compassion for layaway.

Re: I am here,
I was so glad to read on the next page (before finishing this reply) that they were found.
My heart goes out to you _Land, and with it my blessings in Love and Light. May you and your family find the teachings that lead to peace and freedom in the heart of what happened.
I shall play a shakuhachi meditation for you, letting calm resonate to your loved ones.

Perfect sets peeling left, glassed out from the tip to the top, play amidst the rocks beckoning, inviting, seducing...
A Hug from Heaven Everlasting
Blouse over head, flutters to the sand.
Jeans trip me at the knees, then fly.
Panties off and I'm sprinting downhill
Towards the friends upon friends who sigh.
Splashing through the reflecting shallow,
Cool tongues lap my speedy heel
As I plunge forward before fear overtakes
And stops me from this naked reveal.
Rolling, the first hug is crotch high --
Shocks me breathless to my core.
I trudge my knees, pumping high fitfully
And see a dozen more heading for shore.
Then, finally the big one slams my breasts
Crawls over my head, douses my hair.
My feet leave the ground on Icarus' wings,
Flying in the blue hug, soaring to air.
Within my body collapses, seeking vain warmth
But tingles and goosebumps reside without.
I breath so deeply of the love given freely
As my senses reel with no peel of doubt.
Mother Ocean and her babies will be there for me
When the end becomes the beginning eventually.

Stretched, eased, quietly perched atop a white dune. Feet together, palms up, eyes closed in gentle meditation, extending the senses two paces, ten paces to infinity.
The Walls of Air
Hisses of shoreline
Overlap and mix
Below me, the sets come
Marching to bow down.
A breeze lifts my hair
Blowing from the left
I feel its caress
Behind my ears,
Between my breasts.
Breathe a great breath
Of scent so pure,
Like drinking shivers
Through my nose.
My chin tilts back
Swallowing down the breeze
As it flows in my chest
And expands me with ease.
Cypress and rosemary
With a hint of pine
And various other flavors
Congealed in an angelic perfume
Homogenous and whole.
It delights my senses
It delights my mind
Exploding with me
Caresses without me
It kisses me and remains behind
Long after I've gone.
The air up there
Is not just for height,
But for the pure
And the sensual
Erotic purity
That nature has transpired
To deliver it just right.
To mend, to grow at the peaceful beaches,
Breathe as the mighty waves teach us.

(The waves have gone.)
A Bird's Eye View
From blue shadow grows the golden warmth of morning
The sea is calm, no crashing or hissing
A gust comes and goes scattering the grains of sand
Willy nilly across the tempered plains of white.
Lone gull above, still, against the blue.
Wingtip feathers gesture magically,
Writing his gentle spells on the air.
His beak points sunward and what does he see?
Frozen pale waves of sand to the horizon,
Weeds hiding mice, rabbits and nests --
A curious fool, sitting naked in a spot of light.
He hovers, descending to the empty, wide shore.
Feet touch, once, then twice and settle.
He shivers, tucking wings ,downy quills puff,
Squatting to warm his legs from the damp.
Alone, sitting, facing the sun and thinking.

Vibrant Echoes at the Pier
Echoes of a storm
A thousand miles away
Passed the jetty head high.
In the dark evening
I watched their spray
leap towards the stars
At the top of a sea wall.
A pier, short and old
Stood nearby, feeling yet again
The pounding of his age old friend.
As the wind whipped my clothes,
I tempted fate, walking to the end.
A set came and shook the timbers
Beneath my feet.
Time and again begging the old boy
To collapse and take me with him.
Vibrant ecstacy thrilling my skin,
Drumming the beach and heart within.

I started this thread to be inspired by my personal experiences, observations and relationship with the beach. (And, of course, to get some of you to be likewise contributorial -- heh, heh). I posted the first few poems from this effort last night.

Tides . . . ocean . . . oooooohh
The motions of the ocean
Seem to mirror my emotion;
Its weary watercolours
Seem to beat in my medulla,
It squints flint grey
At the gazing sky,
Darkening at every white cloud
Passing by.
It seethes beneath
A sky that’s motionless -
The ocean’s a mess.

Tides Change
rushing in, rushing out
tossing to and fro
rising and falling
like a wild beast
controlled by the moon
crested whitecaps
beautifully crushing
pregnant swells
giving breath
to abundant lives
receding, revealing
magnificent pools
teaming with animation
excersising muscles
with china man caps
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
II
trials come and go
dishelving our normality
Peaks and valeys
no paradise, Edens shore
hidden under the blue moon
furry visits, skin pales
weighing self image
pressure stretches
breathing growth
to stagnant lives
Pain disperses, leaving
pools of humanity
filled with new vigor
from learning, coping
wearing a new hat
Judo, im not real happy with some of the metaphor in this perhaps you could touch this a little _Land

My thoughts.
rushing in, rushing out

rising and falling
like a wild beast

I would look for another analogy "rising and fallin" applied to "a wild beast" doesn't really connect for me.
Maybe...
rushing in, rushing out
tossing to and fro
thrashing thuderously
like a New York sidewalk
controlled by the moon
* * *
crested whitecaps
beautifully crushing
pregnant swells
giving breath
to abundant lives
You know, when I first saw this, I mis-read it, but like the mis-read better.
crested whitecaps
beautifully crushing
pregnant swells
giving birth
to abundant lives

receding, revealing
magnificent pools
teaming with animation
excersising muscles

In the last line "china man" bothers me. I believe it's too often used as a prejedicial or demeaning term. Perhaps replace it with...
receding, revealing
magnificent pools
teaming with animation
exercising muscles
beneath little chinese hats

II
trials come and go
dishelving our normality
Peaks and valeys
no paradise, Edens shore
hidden under the blue moon
Did you mean "disheveling?" I don't understand the reference to Eden's shore. Was it a forbidding place? Perhaps...
trials come and go
disheveling our normality
into peaks and valleys.
no paradise, just Eden's shore
hidden under the blue moon.
* * *
furry visits, skin pales
weighing self image
pressure stretches
breathing growth
to stagnant lives
Are they "stagnant" or "damaged, hurt, devestated?"
furry visits, skin pales
weighing self image
pressure stretches
breathing growth
into damaged lives
* * *
Pain disperses, leaving
pools of humanity
filled with new vigor
from learning, coping
wearing a new hat
I think this works better now with the changes above.

On the rocks at the end of the bend, listening to sounds from the mist that hides all.
A Dream of Gabriel
Om...
A vibration within
Echoes from the ground beneath,
Tying the spirit
To its source.
Om...
The voice, the sound
All around, tickling
Ringing, pulling
At our heart.
Om...
Past troubles, over danger
Around sharp corners,
Safely to that calm shore
Inside the cove.
Om...
The center where all peace
Flows like a distant horn
In the fog, reaching the
Ears of the Universe.
