THE BEACH
The sand in my toes
The breeze flowing across the water
The sun in all its glory..radiant
Children building castles
Gulls searching for treats to seduce their palates
Tanners full of oil
Lovers hand and hand
Picnic hampers full of food
I breath deep absorbing all I see
Families spending time together
At one with nature but, for a moment in time
The power if it all I pause
I feel at peace, so serene
Childrens's laughter surrounds me
Gramma and grampa barefoot holding hands
Dogs catching balls 6 feet high!
An involuntary smile, a quiet giggle
Taking it all in, every detail forever etched
For one rainy day I'll be here again.....the beauty of it all
A tear of joy I shed
Dear Jo-anne
What a lovely poem about the beach - a sandcastle-poem...
I live next to the Coral Sea, on the beach - and how happy I am, for I certainly live in paradise!
A love poem filled with the emotion of sand-betweent-he- toes!
Regards
Donkerman
Thanks so much for the trip to the beach! I loved your poem. What a pleasure to read! Helen
Lovely, it sure does take away the winter blues. Makes you think of all the good things that happen at the beach.
