ON THE BEACH by Michael Williams

ON  THE  BEACH by Michael Williams At dawn, bare footed, viewing as far as eyes can reach,the water's edge advances and recedes along the beach. Before me I see a carpet of half-buried shells of sea-creatures,tide washed and rippled in sodden sand along the beach. I move, exploring, sodden sand oozing between my toes,beyond me the wavelets breaking on the sand along the beach. Behind me, my wandering trail is blurred and indistinct,as the water's edge advances and recedes along the beach. At mid-day, on the soft dry sand behind the water's edge,undressed worshippers lie in the sun that beats down along the beach. At night, the moon's reflection at the water's edgeresembles sea serpents playing in the wavelets along the beach.

THE SEA by Shirley Fudge

THE  SEA   by  Shirley Fudge Gentle lulling of the sea, Once again you beckon me. Caressing waves upon the shore Transporting me to years of yore. As a child, your charm I sought, Protecting me from battles fought. Upon your craggy cliff I sat To gaze in awe and wonder at The magic of your shimmering tide That restored ease and peace inside.

SUMMER SUN Robert Louis Stevenson

SUMMER  SUN  Robert Louis Stevenson  Great is the sun, and wide he goesThrough empty heaven with repose;And in the blue and glowing daysMore thick than rain he showers his rays. Though closer still the blinds we pullTo keep the shady parlour cool,Yet he will find a chink or twoTo slip his golden fingers through. The dusty attic spider-cladHe, through the keyhole, maketh glad;And through the broken edge of tilesInto the laddered hay-loft smiles. Meantime his golden face aroundHe bares to all the garden ground,And sheds a warm and glittering lookAmong the ivy's inmost nook. Above the hills, along the blue,Round the bright air with footing true,To please the child, to paint the rose,The gardener of the World, he goes.

SONNET FOR A SUNFLOWER by annaka

SONNET FOR A SUNFLOWER by annaka When depression begins to take its toll I scavenge for earth, sun, and seed I let it take root starting in my soul A sunflower is all I need   Some days I can't get out of bed But those are becoming rare I have planted a meadow of sunflowers and let them spread I look inside myself for happiness to bear   In the AM when the sun don't shine I look to the window sill for a reminder That I am lovely, I am divine Like a sunflower, I make this world brighter   When darkness yields all the power All it takes is one yellow flower

THE OCEAN - by � B Gosling

THE OCEAN  by � B Gosling The waves trickle along my toes. The soft ocean sprays across my nose. The sand was compliant under my feet, Exactly where the ocean and it decide to meet. The water rose and enveloped around my shin. The salt water numbing against the skin. A shell drifted, caught in the tide, A tiny crab adrift inside. The water drifted up to my hips, A million kisses from the ocean's lips. A gentle caress from the deep blue, Though it would've been better if it was from you... The water enveloped around my waist. A thousand tiny fingers around me laced. The horizon calls, it beckons me Out towards it, across the sea.
