Sunsets Along The Coast Poem by Terrance Tracy

Sunsets along the cost are peaceful and serene, a beauty to behold when two are walking hand in hand in the timeless sand. The irony of this panorama is the storms one encounters which embed them into the scenery that each does not understand.

The coastal birds are in search of a final meal and the couples that are walking hand in hand along the shore are in search of that day's end appeal, but the mystery will not reveal the severed hearts in a lifestyle not shared by the others that are ages apart, like the skimmers that fly along shore to find a morsel or two, flies away empty and alone, and the solitary heart misses the presence of another's hand while walking in the sand watching the sandpipers dodging the eternal waves that will inevitably chase the sandpiper and the lonely heart away from the oncoming tide.

To some the sunsets are a constant infatuation with elementary beauty on display, but there are others that will never be a part of the coastal sunset due to the storms that kept them out of that realm; to love, to share, and be a part of the fantasy, walking along the shore hand in hand with someone who does not understand that life has hindered him or her from walking in the sand along the coastal shore.

Scattered like driftwood by circumstance never to be of use due to the ravage of time no longer of a good continence and are passed their prime to be a part of the sunsets on the coast walking hand in hand in the sand.

Maybe one day the shallow understanding of superficial appeal will be set aside so the two can ride the waves of the ebb tide and find the embedded hope of love has prevailed and the coastal sunset will be complete with the severed hearts walking hand in hand in the twilight of the coastal shore admiring the peaceful conclusion of the storms that once kept them apart with the severing of one's heart.
