The Yanerbie Highway

the Yanerbie Highway

The Yanerbie Highway
Is paved with white silken sands
Stretched between water’s lapping fingers
And the feet of towering dunes

The Yanerbie Highway
Runs at Southern Ocean’s side
Forever exposed to her turbulent moods
And the ebbing, flowing tides

Choose a spot
Under broad blue sky
And pull over beside
The precession of surfboards
Fishing rods, and bathers
Dogs with wagging tongues
Some chasing four wheel drives
Cruising the highway at a leisurely speed
Against a back drop
Of rolling waves and distant red cliffs
Four wheel drives with awnings
Awnings that shade smiling faces
A friendly wave, passing traffic
Possibly stop for a chat
Sometimes between friends old
Sometimes new

The Yanerbie Highway
Its silken white sands
Run along Southern Ocean’s side
Stretching into adventure

First of all congratulations for being published. Your rendition of such a highway quite like a promenade with people meeting brings memories since I've been in lockdown for a year now. Beautiful poetry.
