Life’s a beach
expansive broad
near ocean roar
soft gentling waves
to smiling shore
light footprint sands
through tide-toned times
pain passion passed
to washings fresh
renewed beginnings
coming going
come and gone
Life is a beach
soft textured peace
play wave and sand
with ebb and flow
to edge of land
sea lapping crests
beached restlessly
in courting play
eternally.
I live the beach
horizons reach
in wave advance
an edge is touched
a distance gone
they come to me
in surf and song
the tune I learn
as heartstrings pluck
a beachwave
haunting melody..
The beach is there
through night and day
from sunrise glow
and sunset grace
to starlit splash
of wonder night
each wave crescending
ocean’s might
on shore beach now
each gently tamed.
Life is a beach
at foaming edge
of mighty heave
and gentleness
I learn to reach
willed compromise
surrendering
to blissful peace…
I live the beach
near ocean reach
the beach and seas
live on in me….
