We sit at the edge of life's long beach
Where our hands and dreams endlessly reach
The waves come crashing in and then out
With such a certainty that leaves no doubt
Bringers of the mundane
Bringers of pain
And sometimes even miraculous gain

A pearl from heaven the waves for me did once bring
It caused my solitary and salty emotions to sing
Yet the waves as they are, do as they do  
They proceed and recede and take their passengers too
Back out into the windswept and moonlight ocean my pearl did go
Just like fate to say coldly and emptily, no
I shall sit and wait at the shore
Evermore

Brian,

It's that "sometimes" that make us
continue the reach across the breach
of the beach. Enjoying this poem,
as I was thinking of the ocean and all
of its magnitude just this morning.

Thank you for reading my thoughts.

I like every line of it. I felt the helplessness of life at certain stage. Beautifully penned.
