Janice Dumas Watercolor

When I was in PAN a few months ago I was fortunate to team up with a very good poet. Keith hadn't written much poetry before but said he would give it a shot. He ended up getting an award for the poem he wrote to go along with my painting "Reflections". I just wanted to share this award winning poem.

“Reflections on the Beach”

By Keith McCaffery

Infinite grains of sand

My ever shifting path

Waves dance on the water

Like shards of broken glass

The rolling dunes

Tumble downward from up high

Clouds drift apart

To reveal the clear blue sky

My mind begins to wander

Toward reflections of the past

To when I was a boy

Those days that couldn’t last

The friends that are departed

The ones who couldn’t stay

With my heart wide open

All can walk with me today

Toward the distant horizon

Toward a future unknown

Those reflections left behind me

Will guide me as I roam.

Good job Keith!
