The Coastline

The Coastline


I fell in love with her on a December morning.
I stop my truck and I was star struck at her beauty,
her power.

I walk quickly to her,
she was dancing on the shore.

Nothing could equal her beauty.
I gazed in wonder for hours at her, sitting on the sand.

How could I have not escape to her beauty before this day?

Now I walk up and down the shore,
watching the waves.
The beauty of her be-witched my heart.

I knew when I left her,
I would yearn for her sight.
Never be complete till she was dancing my  feet again.

My love was the Pacific ocean,
the peaceful sea.

I wish to be with her today.
