Sea breeze.
Gulls cry above.
Waves softly rolling,
Covering footprints in the sand.
Ocean
Sights and sounds delight weary soul,
Seeking tranquility,
Refreshing life,
Anew.

Bioluminescence
Seashore Sunset Senses
Breathing in so deeply
Scents of seaweed and crisp air
As gulls seranade
And ocean foam caresses
Sand covered toes
Sunset glistens like gold
Shimmering on waves
That meet rocks and waiting cheek
With a salty kiss goodnight

Vista
So much beauty
Bestowed upon one place
Billion grains of sand
Kissed daily by the sea
That encompasses
A towering rock of old
Worn smooth by elements
This time, this place, this space
Is mine to enjoy today
Choka
Uneven, Unsure, Unstable
Sometimes
Life is difficult
Each step’s hard
Feet sinking
Like walking in the sand
Seeking firmer ground

Beach Memories
Morning Impromptu choice
Leads to fun life experience
Footprints in the sand
Senryu
In a Lonely Place?
Looking for a helping hand?
Drifted upon sinking sand?
God does see that place you’re in,
He’ll strenghten you so you can stand.
Just reach out, take His hand,
He’ll lead you from sinking sand,
To a place far from chagrin,
Life with Him can be grand!
So if life’s not all you planned,
Dead like driftwood on sand,
Look up, invite God in,
And let Him be your helping hand.
Rubaiyat
Muddy Water
I wrote this after a visit to this lake with my family. It is a popular place to go in the summer, but personally I would not swim there.
Sand Castles
Creation reveals the Creator
I gaze upon the ocean with her mighty roar,
while above me the eagle does soar.
A crab, which is a work of Your Own Hands,
is displayed for me upon the sands,
as I walk and think and pray,
I give You thanks for every day.
Thanks for the sun that shines and the moon’s fair light,
the trees that shade and the stars at night.
You made it all and called it good,
in six short days, as only You could.
As I look around me and bless Your name,
I must remember Your greatest acclaim,
the image of Yourself, created in others and me,
people, reflecting Your beauty for all to see.
