Shore To Rise

fiery sun
emerges
from dark sea

seashells
scattered about
litter the beach

as dolphins tumble
in capped waves
tips of white froth
caress gray sand 

lone footprints
fade

John Hamilton Date: 6/24/2019 10:00:00 AM Wonderful words that describe loneliness amidst the beauty of the seashore, you have a distinct style which is so appealing! Login to Reply Sandra Adams Date: 6/24/2019 10:22:00 AM Thank you John, I think I wrote this for a contest and then decided not to enter it....it's been awhile since my muse has sang so if i find an inspiration i act on it! The ocean is my favorite place to be, I am a couple hours from it but go as often as i can! I caught the dolphins playing at sunrise on video! I find walking at sunrise on an almost empty beach is so relaxing, so much beauty to see!

John Gondolf Date: 6/21/2019 7:45:00 AM I've always enjoyed the solitude of walking along the beach in early morning; this poem took me there, Sandra. I love the simplicity of this.

Thank you for your comment and visit :)
