The Sand Speaks

Listen...

The sand speaks

in whooshing whispers

grit and warmth

confronting ocean’s fury

with the serenity of knowing…

 

this too shall pass

Ah, beautiful how you depict the soothing nature of sand while standing in the wake of the ocean. It seems that most poems are about the ocean but the sand is barely the poem's focus. And the message is amazing! Great poem!

Thank you so much, Karen! The sand really should get more attention - but the ocean makes more noise... :)

[Karen]

Ah yes, Noisiness oftentimes takes away from the more reserved Serenity!

Captured so very well in few words Rita.
The sand being the front of the elements entwined with beauty and serenity. what it endures only to rise again and take on the challenges of life day after day. Maybe we can al learn from this :)

Thank you, Troy! I was watching the waves come in, and the sand looked so calm in the face of the wild ocean... yes, a lesson for us all, I think. :)

I Liked this one. But it is too short hu? Maybe you intended it to be so. Anyway (y).

[Rita L. Sev]

Thank you, Angel. I felt that this was all that needed to be said in this one...

Rita, you have captured the beautiful shore line and what it does to us, the sounds, the sights and the beauty. Very nicely done.
