The Beach By Night Poem by Matthew Holloway

The Beach By Night

Rating: 5.0


The ocean stole the beaches memories
washed away the footprints and castles of children
beneath the full moon each wave came
rose up and down the beach
turning the page of history
and this continues day after day
people come, laugh, play, fall in love
those people leave their imprint behind
only for the ocean to return and wipe it away
its a beautiful bittersweet cycle
the ring of a bell atop a bouy
echos in the distant horizon
counting one, two, three
each wave passing
each turn of the page
each memory

Your writing is beautiful. Your poems are beautiful. All are like artistically planted roses in the rose garden. You must read An Autobiography by Jawaharlal Nehru. Your destiny will change and you will become a man to catch men in life through words
