The loss is so sad, the past fading... I really liked this poem. It makes me feel I miss the sea, grandmother, childhood... and is elegaic, elegant. Beautiful job, Ivy. So tied to place and time.

What a beautiful elegy to those mornings when the sea sang poems to you and your grandmother. Only an excellent wordsmith such as yourself could have created such a memorable word painting. Kind regards, Sandra
