The Beach Sunset

Sitting in the  spectacular  shingle beach, 
While  the  waves  in  the  seemingly endless  sea  gives  its speech, 
And  the  winds  smoothly  whispering  in my ears, 
As  it  plays  with  my  once  kempt  hairs. 

The  salty  lips  of the  sea  kisses  the  sand roughly, 
Swirling  and  whirling  as  the  tide changes  freely, 
The  sun,  in a  fiery orb’s  move is  deft, 
Slowly  setting and  there  are  a  few swallows left. 

The  sky  consists  of an assortment  of shades, 
A  blend  of  reds,  oranges  and  yellows, 
The  humming  waters  dexterously reflecting  this  effect, 
As  the  sun  looks  like  it  is  receding  into the  water  sect. 

The  contrast  created  between dark waters, 
And  the  kaleidoscopic  luminous  skies, 
Makes  the  semi spherical  horizon  look like  two  meeting worlds, 
The  known and  the  unknown  creations.
