As we walked along the beach, crashing waves <br />thundered in our ears and a light, salted mist, <br />dampened our lips. <br /> <br />The sun began to set and the voice of the beach, <br />traveled across the ocean waves. <br /> <br />'I am the beach, and here you shall find peace. <br />I am the beach, here you shall find love. <br /> <br />In this domain, my beach, the answers you <br />search for, could very well be found here. <br />For at this beach, there is much, <br />that has been revealed. <br /> <br />The sparkled, white grains of sand, that blanket <br />this beach, has been a bed of comfort, to many. <br /> <br />Pause, as you come upon this beach, and listen <br />to the symphony of waves and the chorus of <br />birds, singing their song, as they glide in the wind. <br /> <br />Feel the power of this beach, as it seems to <br />renew your inner being. You need not question <br />the beach and its mystical powers. For as <br />millions before you have found, the beach... <br />and its magical transference to one...have <br />existed, since the beginning of time. <br /> <br />Be not troubled, for the beach is close at <br />hand. You need only to deliver your strife, <br />to the tranquility of the beach and it shall <br />be exercised from you. <br /> <br />When you go from this beach...leave with <br />the peace that you have found here.' <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />© Joe Fazio<br /><br />(brief renderings) Joe Fazio<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-am-the-beach/
