Sonnets from Suburbia

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

A beautiful and refreshing  beach is not just about the sand and the waves, Tomatoes. This week Lady Penelope muses about nature’s messages via the beach.

On the Beach

I wonder what the ocean can instruct

To those of us who seek an answer for

Life’s mysteries or why we have been plucked

From here to there.  One craves a metaphor.

Don’t look to me, I’m trudging through the sand

The same as you, no wisdom to impart.

I’m grateful holding to another’s hand

While figuring what’s what ‘fore we depart.

My take away is truly not so gloomy,

‘t is but a moment passing in this mood.

May I suggest some poetry by Rumi,

It might alleviate thy urge to brood.

With nature’s hidden lessons out of reach,

It’s not all fun and games here at the beach.
