The Shore Line Poem by Clara Potter Soloman

Footsteps disappear
when the water reaches here
This is a sanctuary to many creatures

The wet sand and the dry sand meet here
The waves make this an uneven border
This is where people sit in the sunshine and feel the waves crash against their feet

People walk along this place in the moonlight
That sparkles and dances across the waters' surface
this is where kids play and laugh

This is my sanctuary

This is the shore line.

Walking along this place
makes me calm
I will close my eyes

and picture a scene
of perfect serenity
though that is unecessary

Because here in this sanctuary
there is nothing but peace
there are no mean school kids

and no dramatic friends
This place where I sit
under my feet there is soft sand

I watch the moonlight dance across the water
and clear my mind
in this perfect night

I am showered with peace

This is my sanctuary

This is the shore line.

Footsteps disappear
when the water reaches here
This is a sanctuary to many creatures

The wet sand and the dry sand meet here
The waves make this an uneven border
This is where people sit in the sunshine and feel the waves crash against their feet

This is my sanctuary.
