AN EVENING AT THE BEACH

AN EVENING AT THE BEACH The setting sun cast its golden raysUpon the sprawling coconut beachThe rolling living screen of eventsReflected in the classy sea, the travailsOf the day which rippled through meFleeting fancy images that evokedContemplative inducement, a moodIn desperate need for answersTo the pertinent questions askedThrough the ages, by the man of desire Where do we come from?And where do we go from here? Insect and mosquito bites, areAgonizing nuisance of distractionLike in real world which we liveThose luring attractions of the tempterFormed the low clouds in my accentAs I raised my consciousnessTo enter into the cathedral of the soulWith a petition for assistanceAgainst all negative influencesIn a subliminal council of solace The experience of a mystical unionMade these questions to disappear

Your second stanza was amazing. I want to go to this beach. Sounds like I need to bring a can of OFF, though. ~Jess K. ---------------------------------------------------- - "So you stand on the corner in your new English clothes.

Thank you for the comment and for sparing time to read. To some people a lonely beach can provide the right atmosphere for spiritual rejuvenation, while for others, the church or the mosque or a corner in ones bedroom, the beach here could be anywhere. The important thing is that, this place appeals to us. The nature of the experience one derives is left for the person to appreciate and interprete. In all, thank you very much. T.
