I lie surpassed by shining endless ocean <br />Whose fickle emotion unfetters at the shore. <br />I lie in lull, imperiled by the beauty, <br />Ravaged by the silence- and yearning essence more. <br />The happenstance of sparkles on the water... <br />Electric chain of fire, a proper patterned lore. <br />The languid lapping goes dancing on the desert, <br />Frothy from the journey, somewhere to reaffirm. <br />A symphony of sounds from her undoing <br />Play rhythm to her brother... light bands of kindred air. <br />And in between, the rain of gifted rapture <br />Falls misty on remembrance... a time when I was here.<br /><br />Keith Parsons<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-beach-39/
