The Beach

The Beach

Listen... it’s talking
It’s pounding its every word upon the rocks
Does is ever end, will it ever end
Or is it meant to go on
to allow our souls to forever feel

Feel what is in us.
The constant motion of our living
Like water on a rock
our hearts must beat with great force
 allowing the world to hear that we must exist

Each crashing wave, each flow of blood
 must continue as one
 If not, where would we be?

Look out there.
The line of blue upon the water
 is telling us, just as our eyes tell us 
 that night is nearing and the day must end
but only for awhile

Look at the sun.
It is beginning to fade 
like our thoughts and worries
 being put away for another day

Put away until tomorrow
if tomorrow is meant
to be...

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@ akiraa_artly

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
