Beautiful. The 'embracing and drifting apart meeting only for seconds' is a powerful image in perpetual tide which turns joyful with 'over our heads seagulls roar around us soapy foams giggle' which is really fun. Loved the closing stanza line 'the wind beneath my wings! '.

I wrote the poem 'Ephemeral Love Flutters In An Eternal Wind', inspired by the poem 'Wave And Shore', by the poet Valsa George and dedicated to the poet Valsa George.

You see love through nature and nature through love, then you weave it into a meaningful poem for all to appreciate. You have a gift most rare. Thanks Valsa

A few things come to mind with this poem, Valsa. But first, I especially like the phrase, soapy foams giggle. This makes me think of a different description of the same phenomenon in my poem At Twenty Years. Then the longing you express brings to mind a song sung by Bobby Darin titled, Beyond the Sea. I encourage you to look up the lyrics and listen to it. I think you’ll enjoy it. Love fill and surround you. Glen

Life is a journey, it starts with a virtual love and heads towards a real love. sometimes, I feel I am on a journey to you with a prayer not to reach you once I reach what shall I do? what will you do? Great lines.

Valsa, you've expressed so much about relationships and the hope that love may last with both side by side forever. I'll never look at waves on a shore in the same way again, some days stormy and others calm...

Valsa, this is terrific! This verse is truly inspired. The waves and the shore- -so often meeting, touching....but the relationship is so very often fleeting. This reminds me of what goes on between so many. Perhaps this is why so much of great poetry is about wanting and pining and yearning. A fabulous poem, Valsa.

A melancholic reflection on love that does not wish to be fixed or defined. Yet this relationship flies with full wings perhaps because it works best this way. A perfect 10.

The imagery reminds me of From Here To Eternity and Jonathan Livingston Seagull. The poetry is, as always, so eloquent. And full of passion! Valsa, thank you for sharing your love.

Life of seagulls stretches around the wave and the shore. You captured the thoughts of love so beautifully in captivating lines.

Wave of life is interesting and beautiful. Destination is not so far while effort is given. Life is full of love. Having broad vision we feel this. Vision helps in fulfilling ambition. Embracing and drifting apart with the waves and shore we feel more. The wind beneath wings capture love and emotion. A great imagery is drawn in this excellently penned poem......10.
