The Beach

Your faraway shores call my name,

I hear you whispering, "Come again”.

Memories of you etched upon my mind,

of sun-soaked days, happy times.

The sun, a painter roaming free,

brushing warmth so endlessly.

Sunlight spills into the glistening sea

igniting hopes, rekindling dreams.

Your unspoilt beauty, a natural retreat,

a promise made, love complete.

My laughter drifting on coastline air,

footprints fade, but my heart stays there.

From sculpted coves to endless sand,

a wonder shaped by nature’s hand.

Schools of fish weaving wild,

the distance sound of an elated child.

Each dawn a renewal, each dusk a thrill,

tomorrow’s plans standing still.

In your grasp, by your side.

when I am with you my worries subside.

I dance in your waves, enjoy a salty kiss,

take a refreshing swim with exotic fish.

The endless horizon, in shades of blue,

a canvas of joy in every hue.

A cherished escape, an occasion to share,

Come rain or shine, I’ll be there.

In your presence I feel brand new,

a guiding light, forever true.

Nothing can stir my soul or set me free,

like tides that turn eternally.

Mother Nature at her best,

my love of the beach, my place of rest.
