Waves of Time
It always brings me back
draws my gaze unlike any other,
piercing, captivating my mind
right between the eyes.
Blowing past the insignificance
teasing me inward,
knowing I'll come calling
when all I can see
is it.
I stiffen my back to the slaughtering gale
a stone wall undefeated,
it traps itself in my mind
it won't let go
forcing itself upon every corner
battling my wits, I unwillingly struggle
but don't let go,
I see the world
and I, so small
a single grain of sand
lost within a beach.
This sea right here
howling my name
its hypnotic feel
spellbinding touch,
here I stand, amidst its isolation
and I hear it call again,
feeding off the loneliness
thoughts of trickery abound
stealing not only a mind, a heart,
but my smile brings a welcome sound
as I taste victory mingled with brine....
its echo carried forever
on the waves of time.

The beach is a great place for contemplation. It seems like time stands still when you're out there. Excellent nature writing and thoughts in this.

~A Single Grain of Sand~
Jewel,
A single grain, a moment, a smile, a touch, a victory. This is a very touching poem with a timeless sentiment, love of the ocean. I love the ocean! It calms all ills and delights in company. I take a walk on the ocean at least once a week. Beautiful imagery...we all agree!
Warm regards,
Kathy
Thanks Kathy

Captivating
I love the frame.
Very introspective
and subtle.
The image, of the beach, the squall,
all very dramatic, and at home
in the mind of the read
(at least this reader)
along with the tense will to refusal;
Beautiful write.
Thank you Teresias
