Counting starfish on silver stained beaches
Moon rays lightly tapping on the shore
Softness echoes just beyond our reaches
As ebbs and flows of tides illume our lore

Warm mist sprays like morning's dew
Lapping laughter of lace-like waves
Sentient dreams flow for the very few
Wading sand dunes as sea-boughtslaves

Straining softly, sifting star-lit sands
Through mem'ries rife with silver beams
Shadows fall through fingers, slip through hands
Held by others so that it seems

The two who walk as one on nature's shore
Glow with lumined light for ever more

Exquisite blend of moonlit nature and shadowy human dreams and images.

Your use of alliteration, adds to the musicality of this seaside symphony of sights and sounds.

Soothing, rapturous, and rates high on my 'sigh meter'!
