Notes About The Poem

Oregon Coast Vacation

Oregon Coast Vacation

My heart yearns for a place of peaceful desire
A place where the impulse of adventure will entice
Florence, Newport, and Yachats Oregon Coast where the tall pine grow
Where rivers and ocean are turquoise gradient of paradise

A place where the impulse of adventure will entice
Camping, hiking, dune riding, and sightseeing bringing you back to childhood 
Where rivers and ocean are turquoise gradient of paradise
The gentle swells of the waves rise and fall; smells of brine and wet-wood

Camping, hiking, dune riding, and sightseeing bringing you back to childhood 
Cool twilight of the day fades drawing shadows obscured by trees
The gentle swells of the waves rise and fall; smells of brine and wet-wood
A lovely quiet haven for elk, deer, bear, owls, pelicans, and sea lions

Cool twilight of the day fades drawing shadows obscured by trees
As we gaze up towards the universe twilight; kisses settling in with tranquility
A lovely quiet haven for elk, deer, bear, owls, pelicans, and sea lions
Could not deny ourselves the intervention with nature’s beauty

As we gaze up towards the universe twilight; kisses settling in with tranquility
Florence, Newport, and Yachats Oregon Coast where the tall pine grow
Could not deny ourselves the intervention with nature’s beauty
My heart yearns for a place of peaceful desire
