(…) Shine! shine! shine!
Pour down your warmth, great sun!
While we bask, we two together.
Two together!
Winds blow south, or winds blow north,
Day come white, or night come black,
Home, or rivers and mountains from home,
Singing all time, minding no time,
While we two keep together. (…)

I want to thank toli, a long time friend and now a flickrino who blogs at Absolutely Awesome for taking this beautiful photo at Brighton pier and letting me use it.

You folks are all conspiring to feed my lusting for white sand and blue water and making it unbearable!!!!! lol What a wonderful photo!
Yes indeed a most beautiful photo. Almost as if on the deck of a ship sailing away to magic places.
thank you.
I love that photo! I also love Walt Whitman. We have an ancient copy of Leaves of Grass here at the house. I’ve seen it on the bookshelf my entire life.
Beautiful pairing of words, image, everything.
