The Beach

The Beach

written by: Mike Henry

 

A no-man’s land of rock and sand\
Where elements collide\
The air and water, wind and waves\
All dancing with the tide\
Millenia have come and gone\
Since first dividing sea and land\
And dinosaurs have walked upon\
This timeless, endless strand\
Place of departure and of flight\
Before even time began\
Place of arrival and refuge\
For many a weary man\
I walk in wonder on this shore\
And ponder the midnight sky\
Is every grain of sand a star\
That came here just to die?\
Is every rock and ripple\
Just a murmur in the dark?\
Is every noisy seagull cry\
The lost soul of a lark?\
Forever changing, old as time\
Beyond comprehension\’92s reach\
Carved by wind and surging waves\
This awe-inspiring beach.
