Beachfront – POEM

Bright lights, dark skies

Heart beats feeling like butterflies

Slow walks on the docks

Thoughts of hellos and past good byes

Sips of salty Air

Grains of sand settled everywhere

Stepping on the beach

Reminds me that my feet are bare

Grains drift like seagulls

A guy trips

Another runs by with his two beagles

The wave that starts out at sea

Ends inside me

It defines me

Keeps me lively

Like the beach my surfaces are solid

Beyond the shores

My waters roll wildly

Ebbing and flowing

Throughout the cycles of life

Affected by my pleasures

Moved by my strife

Chilly waters reach my feet

But the water isn’t cold

Its reminiscent

Of the temps of my soul
