Fantasy land

In a coastal haven, a small beach town unfolds, Where names are known, in warmth and tales retold. Away from city's roar, tranquility is found, Love and serenity, a comforting surround. Upon the shore, devoid of sunbathers' claim, Fishermen prepare, their boats in silent aim. Seated on the sand, hear waves weave rhythmic lore, My castle dreams, footprint-less on the shore. Miles on the beach, where tides play their game, In the evening, hues shift, a vibrant flame. Sea's treasures glisten, shells on sandy reach, Under the night, stars and Moon gently teach. Drowsing 'neath skies, dark and infinite, Roosters croon, melodies sweet and exquisite. Dawn unfurls, sun's rays a morning grace, Simple breakfast, coconut water's embrace. Afternoon by the pond, cows and people wade, Lotus and lilies, a visual serenade, In my dreamland, a sanctuary grand, I yearn for the haven, my feet in the sand.

You have so beautifully described your fantasy land. The shift from twilight to early dawn on the beach side brings in changing views and hues. Your sanctuary is so tempting that I feel like visiting it.

Oh, how wondrous it is, Dear Jay, to behold such a magnificent composition! You have effortlessly whisked me away to a peaceful sanctuary by the coast, where the splendor of the natural world converges with the serenity of a humble seaside village, unveiling itself in all its glory.

Dear Jay, You transported me to a serene coastal haven, where the beauty of nature and the tranquility of a small beach town unfold before my eyes. Your vivid imagery and evocative language create a captivating, comforting, and enchanting atmosphere. I was captivated by the warmth and familiarity permeating the poem as you describe the close-knit community and the peaceful rhythm of life by the sea. I could almost feel and hear. The serene moments of drowsing beneath infinite skies and the simple joys of coconut water at dawn evoke a deep sense of tranquility and contentment. You beautifully capture the essence of finding peace and sanctuary in nature's embrace, and it left me wanting for the haven you described. - Blessings, Daniel
