a walk on the beach - narrative poem

to a walk on the beach

nothing can compare

ocean flowing by your side

cool wind in your hair


a walk on the beach

moon glowing bright in the sky

ocean waves splashing

engulfed in the moonlight


wind flying past

singing in the air

shells wash ashore

like chimes against the ocean floor


a walk on the beach

completely on your own

yet somehow

you don’t feel alone


“follow the music”

you hear the wind say

so you listen

and go on your way


the longer you walk

the louder it sings

so you sing along

as the clocktower dings


you’ve walked all night

and you’ve started to tire

so you lay in the sand

to sleep till morrow


when you awaken

the ocean has calmed

the wind sings no longer

and the seashells, are gone


you say it was a dream

but some still recall

that day the ocean

sang for them all
