On a lonely beach Receding waves, blackened under heavy clouds Wash ashore and chase off tiny crabs Tree trunks, broken plastic toys Things both men and nature reject Are like orphans left behind High tides of life Spill moments of joy, pain and misery Leaving sentimental remnants May there be a day Of thundering white waves Bringing a happy return to Pristine clarity (c) 2004 by Franz L Kessler

I am forever and always picking up mans discarded junk off the beaches I go to regularly...a never ending task it is, and you have shown here that it could change, given, if read between the lines, that man can release his hold over natural forces...man is still too very young and the very young ever really listen...Peace, Ed & rufuz

I can see the pic you painted with your words.
Wished you could leave the here and now and go to that place.
Great write.

Amen, my friend...
And one day, in the not too distant future,
ALL beaches will be pristine again.

I've never seen such a beach, wish I could. This is lovely.

I second that emotion.

I remember once about 27 years ago, I befriended the front desk clerk at the hotel I was staying at in Martinique. I didn't speak French so he took me around the island. One day we went to a private, totally secluded beach far away from people, roads, and seemingly civilization. You poem just reminded me of that day. I have never seen a beach like that since. It was pristine.

Thanks and good to see you again Franz. ~ Sara

"Bringing a happy return to
Pristine clarity"

Oh, yes! Good poem. A reflection on things as are, and as we wish them to be. Loved that ending.
