A View From The Seashore Poem by Nkosiyazi Kan Kanjiri

I stood there
Seeing the sea throwing up to the shore
Rendering the sands vulnerable
Tossing them up and about
In and out

I stood there
Gazing beyond yonder
Into the vastness of nothing but salty water
Watching monstrous waves
Tearing into the air above
Grabbing all its innocence deep into the sea

I stood there
Seeing my own shadow
Dangling on the face of the waters
Dancing to the discord of the sea,
Unwillingly.

I stood there on the shore
Cursing both the land and sea
Wishing if the waves could grab me
And like the sand, toss me into the sea
And I disappear
To the world yonder
