We once went to the Beach

On the Beach

We once went to the beach,

it was a busy day and plenty on offer

the crowd moved along in a steady pace

finding places to sit and rest

some read while others watched

a few did nothing at all but lay there

all beneath a clear blue sky

beautiful and vast almost endless

a gentle wind eased the heat of day

rolling from the sea over sands

ice cream and cold drinks on order

applied to chill the rest

it was a beautiful postcard day

in a summer well spent

Cascading waves wash ashore

tickling our toes as we stroll.

And moonbeams

set a thousand jewels sparkling...

upon the shoal.

Smiles summon sweet emotions

as we walk upon the beach

hand in hand

under a starry sky...

I pause,

to build castles in the sand.

Fate and Fortune

Now collide

defining the essence of life.

And love offers a joy

reserved for fantasies

and dreams...

The sky now yellow, mauve and blue

I stroll alone by water's edge

on a deserted pebbled beach

searching for a voice

On the beach at night,

Stood I with my father,

Watching the east, the autumn sky.

That's the Queue for us to

Leave,

The beach
