Sifting Sands

I love the beach! I went to college to be near one, I currently live near the Pacific ocean, and I try to vacation to one as often as possible. There's just something so beautiful in the sound of the waves and watching the ever changing shoreline. Mother Nature at her best!

The picture below is one I took while visiting Hawaii. This poem was inspired by a tropical beach painting.

 

Sifting sands, shifting shores,
Swaying palm trees, gentle breezes,
Blossoms scent the air.

Sunny days and moonlit nights,
Soft rains, thunderous waves,
Creatures creep on branch and shell.

Ukulele's and Haleakala,
Pineapples and plumeria,
Swinging hips and ancient culture,

Aloha islands call to me.
