THE BEACHES OF CAPE COD

We strolled hand in hand

Over creamy white sand

Which captured our footprints

So briefly in time, 'til the tides

And the whitecaps erased

Every trace of our lingering gaze

Into endless expanse.

 

Hillside bedecked by a

Towering lighthouse, a

Monument offering course and direction,

Left to remind of the days

Of our glory;

Seafaring heroes who praised her reflection.

 

Stiff breezes piercing the October morning,

Riding the waves rolling in from the east.

The surf is alive with the voice of a lion,

Rising to crash like the jaws of a beast.

Yet, somehow serene,

Alive, Enduring,

Knowingly constant,

Meant to survive.

Never a worry on

These sandy beaches;

Joyous to celebrate

Being alive.
