I walk the beach all alone
With the sun in crimson regalia.
As I feel the cool sand under my feet,
the waves are giggling like children.
The air so pure and clean, the sky soft and sleepy
The orange-red sunset in the distance,
make me think of God’s goodness
and what He has done for me.
All alone on the beach, but not alone in the world!
I wonder silently what this moment holds.
As the noctilucent light catches my sight,
I walk slowly thinking about my life.
Clouds are around the sun like giant shutters,
I walk until the moon becomes my companion.
As I wonder about my future and my life,
a tiny star in the Milky Way twinkles in the evening sky.
All alone on the beach, but not alone in the world!
There is a gentle whisper I hear, moving with the wind,
" I will never leave you nor forsake you”,
Thus, I know the new year brings faith, hope, and love.

Beautiful
Thank you for reading my poem and responding! I, too, am a sun searcher...
Could relate to every part of this poem. Was crying as I read it. Nicely done. Hugs.
Thank you, Mr. Augustus. I look for clarity, precision and economy of words in my poems. I'm very impressed with your reaction to my poem. I worked at it for hours looking to express my niece's experience as she walked the lonely beach.
Thank you again!
I went back and read it again as I saw it through an old man's eyes. You are right on that. I can see it through a young persons eyes as well, if not better. You are lucky to have a niece.
Mr. Augustus, you got me thinking about going back and seeing it through an old man's eyes. I'm 59 and I see life differently now.
The tiny star twinkling in the Milky Way with countless stars, suggest the context of our life in this overcrowded world. But, though it feels like I'm alone, I have my God, my family, my friends, and my children to keep me company. Yes, I'm a tiny star in the immense universe, but in reality my light shines in ions of time.
Brilliant my friend, wonderful words! ww
Wonderfully written and expressed
Thank you Tony...
