The Beach
A no-man’s land of rock and sand
Where elements collide
The air and water, wind and waves
All dancing with the tide
Millennia have come and gone
Since first dividing sea and land
And dinosaurs have walked upon
This timeless, endless strand
Place of departure and of flight
Before even time began
Place of arrival and refuge
For many a weary man
I walk in wonder on this shore
And ponder the midnight sky
Is every grain of sand a star
That came here just to die?
Is every rock and ripple
Just a murmur in the dark?
Is every noisy seagull cry
The lost soul of a lark?
Forever changing, old as time
Beyond comprehension’s reach
Carved by wind and surging wave
This awe inspiring beach
