ON THE BEACH

At the horizon

The sea meets the sun

While the seashore waves 

Roll out their song

And seagulls chatter

As the sea wind is felt

Heavy is the air

With the smell of salt

But then the sun

Dives from view

Now sea and sky

Become one not two

As autumn colours

Of a sunset decline

Sea and sky become

The back of my mind.

Hi Andrew. Well! Even your free verse is gaining impetus. You are telling a full story without reverting to superfluous verbiage!! I love this, and wouldn't change anything, alf

My favorite kind of poetry. Thoughts and the sea. I spend six years near the sea. I would roam Winter or Summer on her shore. On the beach. A place to make us know peace and clam. I liked the closing lines.
"Of a sunset decline
Sea and sky become
The back of my mind."
Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
