~ Walk Along The Beach ~

Walk Along The Beach ...........



Calmly I walked along the beach,
though it were my first time.

There was water, as far as the eye could see.
surging waves pounding, beating blue,
in sudsy waters-

against the cliffs- the rocks- the sands.

The sands of time I’d long forgotten.

Now the sands from the hour glass,
run swiftly- freely.

Time running out, grain by each grain.

I would give anything right now, to recapture
smells of the oceans- noises from the sea gulls-
ride once more upon the waves-fill my glass with sand again!

Back!
Living life to its fullest-fearlessly pushing all limits-
standing on the edge!

Feeling peace, comfort of loving arms,
like the waves wrapping the driftwood below.
Touching the cushiony grass of home,
like the sands beneath my feet.

Fading sands!
Time rushing out, pulled by the tides!

Watching the waves, move out to sea, reminds me. . .

I too must leave. . . my glass has run out!
A walk along the beach is done!
