Autumn Beach Encounter

Autumn Beach Encounter

A Poem by Eric Cox

Deep blue water is shimmering in the October sun's silver blaze
the sky a beautiful hue above the ocean's glittery haze
a light fog shrouds the distance below vibrant blue
not a cloud afloat in the sky with a snow white hue
the seagulls sing and the waves soothingly echo light roars
down the beautiful unspoiled beach she and I explore
our souls sing touched by the open grand beauty which shrouds
this serene atmosphere clears away life's grey storm clouds
a hunt for seashells brings alive the magic of the beach
picture taking yields moments of beauty forever in reach
A crab fisherman catches one, reels it in, crab legs wiggling fast
he smiles and says to me "It's a female", throws it back, then recasts
within the ocean waters swim beautiful creatures of the sea
dolphins and whales frolic and touch our souls with their beauty
the Autumn sun shines illuminating the blue of the great sky
waves roll in with whispering roars upon the soft sand as our souls sigh
she and I pause to write sitting upon a washed in log near the sand's edge
we are shrouded by the peaceful beauty gouging away city life like a wedge
I long to return to the beach and breathe in the beauty and soothing calm so deep
every beach encounter I so treasure and yearn to hear its soft song eternally sweep.

Such a beauty of treasures and reflections... Your words reminded me how much I miss the sea... Used to visit the Oregon coast every summer growing up... Could stay there forever and never grow bored... You captured that magic here.
