Walk
With me
On the beach
Twilight beckons
As the sun sets west
Taking the day with it
It is the time to seek peace
Find a space within our own hearts
That reaches out, comforts, and assures
Remains untrodden, like sand, at high tide

What tales can you tell, and how far did you roam?
Tossed about, in the waves, collecting the foam
Sifted, with the sands, tis where you lay, in waste
How sad, the rest of you, must have been misplaced
Drifting on the open waters, tarnished by the sea
Do you wonder where, and why, this is your place to be?
You wait, and hope, for someone, to find you most attractive
Perhaps a coffee table piece, one that’s quite abstractive
I think I rather like the way, you look here, on the beach
I’ll tuck you underneath the rocks, and keep you out of reach
From the tides that wander in and out, with never any care
I don’t wish them to take you back, they have had their share
I changed my mind, I’ll take you, I know the perfect place
You can decorate my garden, tucked in the perfect space

The lovely Helene of Willow Poetry has challenged us with “What do you See?”. You may write a poem, haiku, tanka or short story that represents what you see or feel within you. More info can be found in the link below.
Oh my, Petunia, this is just what we need
Do you think anyone will notice, if we go?
Her cat looked out, in a most curious way
Not quite sure what happened to the snow
Through the door of her dreams, lay a beach
Blue skies, white clouds, and palm trees sway
Not like back home, with the dark and drear
Where the days were nothing more than gray
The sun brightened, as they stood there in awe
Warmth filled this place, not covered in white
Surely, they wouldn’t miss them, for a short while
The one’s left back home, on that cold winter night

Packed and corded, yellow umbrellas stand tall
No longer unfurled, summer’s welcomed the fall
Lunch tables now empty, no suntan to get
The ocean’s still calling, but I’m not getting wet
It’s much too chilly to hang out, on the beach
The warmer days are gone, they’re all out of reach
And the breeze off the water, is icy and cold
How dare you, dear autumn, must you be so bold?
No boats on the water, no seagulls flying high
Down at the shore, I watched summer flying by
