Best Beaches Poems

When I think of my heavenly promised land,
     Where someday I will make my eternal home,
With Jesus, who came, the world to redeem;
     Oh how the best things of this world grow dim!
When I imagine God’s beaches...

i wander these winter beaches 
where autumn's storms
have removed the footfalls of summer
believing in spring

here i am alone listening
to the waves mellifluously remind
yet never recalling
floating the river Lethe

pelicans traversing the waves
the terns work the receding water
i am the intruder

waves erasing...

The word, when said
Makes some go dead
The sound of dog (she)

With their last full measure of loyalty
and impeccable...

I'm dreaming of the sandy beaches
Just like the ones I’ve seen before,
Where the surf is rising,
With lovers surmising,
While kayakers skim along the shore.

I’m dreaming of the sandy beaches
With every poem today I write
Hoping you have good weather up here
If I think of you,
I’ll shout a...

“I Remember Beaches”


I remember beaches
hot white sand with crystal
blue water and phosphorescence
melting into everything

Salt on my face, on my lips
even my hair was drenched

to place my towel...

Utterly cold waters for two southerners from Oslo.
They take our breath away when swimming. 
The land of the midnight sun and the gorgeous
Aurora lights are featured at Uttakleiv Beach.
Kept our eyes open too for unusual sights at
Lofoten Islands in northern Norway. 
Eye of the Dragon...

Ice cliffs shine in polar devotion
Across December beaches stand
Sentrys to shores of frozen oceans
Sea shells lie in crystallized strands
Snow angel wings of silver sand.
