I dwell on the shoreline so warm and so sheltered, <br />I'm drawn to the archway that leads to the sea, <br />Lit by the rays of the sunlight that's shining, <br />A way to the ocean a way to be free. <br />A frame to the beauty that lies far beyond it, <br />That reaches to heaven and God's loving hand. <br /> <br />Such peace I do find in this haven of beauty, <br />The crests seem to glisten like diamonds that shine, <br />Moving in motion they're rising and falling, <br />Casting their spell on the waters divine. <br />And as I gaze in awe on such wonderful sights, <br />My heart does belong to this magical land. <br /> <br />Sapphire and placid the sea is so calming, <br />So gentle the waves on the shingle lined shore, <br />The sound of seagulls that soar high above me, <br />Over the coast and towards Durdle Door. <br />Sculptured by time and a gate to the future, <br />But dreams always end as the stones turn to sand.<br /><br />ANDREW BLAKEMORE<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/durdle-door-2/
