My body lies dormant on the warm sand,
As the tide begins to roll in.
Calm lapping of the waves
Caress my legs and tickle my toes.
An old palm tree grows nearby,
It’s giant leaves douse me in shadow
As they sway in a gentle breeze.
Blocking out reality along with the sunlight.
The methodical rhythm of the shoreline
Massages my tortured soul
With nature’s soothing embrace,
Putting my body and mind at rest.

Poetry: The shore
by Jon Coe
A fine line that separates land and sea
My one place to walk to gather sanity
Not knowing what I find upon the shore
Each step
I have been walking along the shore,
And feel the soft sand beneath my feet,
Knowing peace I adore from the air,
Come together
Song of the Northern Shore
Oh Abigail, Abigail, may the sword remain unsheathed
For you were lost unto the breeze, of a harsh
I walk along the shore so peaceful and serene.
I love to feel the sand so softly under my feet.
I love to breathe the ocean
Undulating waves crash up on the shore
The sun no more than a smudge in sky
Dark clouds storm across the sky
The waves toss
