Beach Shivers

The seething sky,

and the pewter sea

meet without a margin.

The horizon stays remote,

hidden by the hoary caps.

The gulls hunker down,

perched on pilings,

they turn into the gale,

and silently shiver in the driving blast.

A gust of sand scours shells and seaweed,

while flecks of foam form whirlpools in the wind.

Crescendo and moan combine,

announcing each wave

that lashes the beach.

No footprints today...

no joyful, doggy scampers pit the grains.

All is swept and scrubbed

in the dark agitation of the winter beach.

SAD


The after-Christmas gloomies grab

my grin, and turn it upside down,

like sleep and dreams,

all jumbled, chaotic and dismal.

I roam the night in search of me..

the me I lost when winter cloaked

the sun, and snuffed the stars

with gray and grumbling billows.

Signpost fade within

the misted mural of this term....

this sentence I concede to serve

each January.

I like SAD.I can relate to it.I would so love to here the kids splashing in the pool,instead of listening to my dh cleaning the snow in the driveway.

BTW,Bea, Whatever happened with the picture of the young boy and the story you wrote?

I LOVE Beach Shivers! It is so expessive and I almost felt like I was standing at the edge of a beach reciting those very words through my head as I was reading it. Bravo! :)
