A Day At The Beach... Poem by Alexander Raj

Your tiny feet take those first steps...
in search of sea-gull feathers...
As grown up feets would bring you back in my arms
crowned with plumes of peace...

As children's laughter sways on the wings of kites
like sweet music to my aged ears...
Sand castles of hopes and promises
as birth of civilizations to be...

The soft white eyes of waves blink away the lazy noons
as they beckon out to thee...
My heart craves for the pure love and joy
as nature bonds with thee...

The hands that dragged me
to the streaming sunshine in the dawn of life
Lead me through silent stars falling from the sky,
as the dusk of life sets in...


As I sleep amidst the clouds of childhood past
the seeds of dreams grow slowly
Slowly in my heart's mind, yearning,
for another day at the beach...
