A Day At The Beach Poem, by MDStone, at My poetic side

A Day At The Beach

I hear the waves crashing onto shore

And the sound of the gulls spotting prey

I smell the salt and taste the sea

And spot the sun in its array

The sand is warm and the water is clear

And trouble seems so far away

I feel safe in my happy place

Where dolphins love to laugh and play

I watch the swirl the tide leaves behind

And see as it drags and tumbles a shell

I wonder to myself where has it been

And what kind of stories could it tell

It has seen the mysteries of the depths

And has traveled so many a mile

Now broken and jagged by its journey

Another thought dawns and I smile

I too am tumbling along life’s shore

The serenity of sand just out of reach

Broken and jagged from time’s current

Living my life, like a day at the beach

What a fantastic simile to top off a mysteriously straightforward observation. Two thumbs up!

Each of those days by the beach is there for you to enjoy.
