Gentle Embrace
Upon an empty shore, I stand alone,
Where seas meet sand and skies call home.
The ocean vast, an endless view,
To contemplate, a mind anew.
In gentle whispers, the waves embrace,
As salty air caresses my face.
A symphony of gulls up high,
Their ethereal songs to mystify.
Footprints fade within the tide,
Mirroring the thoughts I tried,
To hold, to grasp, to comprehend,
Yet slip like sand between my hands.
Here lies a world, where dreams reside,
Within the shells, that oceans hide.
The soothing hum of ebbing flow,
Reveals the secrets yet unknown.
In this solitude, I find release,
As horizon merges into a masterpiece.
A canvas painted by heaven's grace,
Where thoughts can roam, and hearts can race.
Amidst the crashing waves, a hush,
A quietude amidst the rush.
My thoughts and sea, united be,
Entwined as one, in harmony.
As twilight nears, the sky turns gold,
The sun sets forth, a tale untold.
Emboldened by the day's refrain,
I leave the shore, but peace remains.
