My Beach...

Poem Artwork

Isn’t far from my reach,

Is crowded now, summers here,

The summer throngs do ruin her I fear,

They trash her & destroy her beauty,

To keep her nice is my forever duty…

 

I surfed in the sea off my beach,

I swam till I was waterlogged,

I treated her with great respect,

She provides me a place to become introspect…

 

She shows her love & her hatred,

Mostly though to man she does remain calm,

Lovingly she treats her creatures with aplomb,

Not just those within her waves,

But man as well, even though he does not reciprocate…

It can be as calm as a baby or as vicious as raging anger. It deserves our respect always. Great write Ed.

I hear ya, Ed! There's nothing more amazing than the majesty of the ocean....and yet it gets so much abuse! Great to hear you're taking care of your beach...and a beautiful one she is!

The good thing about an ocean, it has the capacity to repair, almost at will, what man had wrought.
