Array ( [sid] => 182865 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => A Day at the Beach [time] => 2016-03-31 10:11:57 [hometext] => Funny thing, I turned a negative imagination into a positive one in writing this. [bodytext] => I feel the tide, inch up on the shore
Taking bits of sand, ever seeking more
The waves creep, in the smoothest flow
With the grains gone, I ask "Wherever do they go?"

I feel the pressure, of the water/'/s mass
Meandering the light, as it tries to pass
I see earthly snow, falling to the floor
Landing sands, I wonder, "What are you useful for?"

I feel rough sand pile, making a bar out in the sea
Mounds of grainy rock, glittering under me
Flying ospreys near, scanning all about
Watching them I ponder, "Are they seeking trout?"

I feel the osprey/'/s lungs, expelling air above
Gazing through the surface, for the prey it love
Imagining its flight, and feel the wind carressing me
Open eyes back on my feet, I remark Oh right. This is who I be."

I feel the sun setting, meandering the day
Purples blues and blacks, coax the light away
With nothing left to see, I leave but do not pout
Gazing at the stars, I exclaim, "This is what it/'/s all about!"

Great poem. I was never a beach fan but that/'/s because I worked out in the hot sun everyday. But there is beauty there and you captured it rather well.
Your last stanza summed it up nicely!!!

I/'/m so glad you are writing again xHeathenx!

I could see days at the beach like this but not have quite the words you show all those questions wherever do they go

its the cold odd loneliness/ one might suppose.
This is a perfect poem!

Peace!
