I took a little trip to a sea cliffed beach yesterday which inspired this poem. I hope that you like it.-Bob



Sea Cliffed Beach



Multi-colored sand disguises
Umbrellas of different sizes
Hide from view the chilled surprises
Awaiting every child
On sea cliffed beach where cars are parking
Labradors and collies barking
For within there’s something sparking
And they’re growing wild
To run upon the beach and frolic
With both kids and workaholics
In the waves that splash chaotic
And somewhat makes complete
My thoughts about how spry and willing
Oceans are to bring such thrilling
To the ones who’ve begged for chilling
From this summer’s heat
Though rest I’ve wished for and not getting
Still I’m not mad nor am sweating
For I’m dreaming and forgetting
Doldrums out of reach
Where the kayak now is surging
Where the land and sea’s converging
Where awakened by life’s urgings
To contemplate them each
Was found on sea cliffed beach.


Lighthouse Bob

I like it a lot.  Sounds like a great  place to be.  My California son does kayaking when he can get away.

  God bless

Oh this was so peaceful!
After a hectic day, (it is not a holiday in Canada)..
it was great to come in here this evening and read this lovely.
Thanks for the brief escape.
Hugs and a Happy Fourth, Nancy~

Don't bring me down now,
let me stay here for awhile
You know life's too short,
let me bathe here in your smile.
