    Winter beach in Maine

     Walking on the beach in the eve
    Sun and waves back and forth weave
    The tide past in starts its flows
    In ebb have erased footprints as it goes
    The crowds that filled the past day
    Long since have given way
    Leaving me alone in thought
    On what the waves have wrought
    Walking knee deep in the foam
    Down mile after mile I roam
    And now as I prepare to leave
    Down onto wave and beach it snows
    Adding just a trifle to the sway
    Off to the depths which I sought
    Leaving rimes of ice on the loam

    A bleak expanse with reminders of life filled space - chatter, children play - and nature's changing environment. I liked this very much. ~Pamela

    Beautifully written. The ocean is fascinating, always changing and yet serene in it's immenseness. I've been to Maine in the fall but never when it snows. You brought it to life for me.

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
