Standing on the beach at sunset <br />As the sun begins to disappear <br />Setting the horizon a fiery glow <br />We hold each others hand <br />Feel the salty freshness from the sea <br />Wafted over us by a cool evening breeze <br /> <br />Slowly we walk along the sands <br />Leaving the old world behind <br />Just you and me <br />Keeping an eye open <br />For any treasures <br />We might stumble across and find <br /> <br />The stillness of the twilight <br />As the sun sets in the west <br />The hiss of the gentle breaking waters <br />Arms around shoulders now <br />Getting closer to whisper in your ear <br />Because our beginning starts here <br /> <br /> <br />(15 April 2007)<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/beginning-starts-here/
