Utilizing Purposes Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Traipsing along sandy shores, thinking and looking
out over the horizon at waves rolling towards shore,
then crashing upon the sand.

Their rhythmic swelling and falling, touching my
mind, giving it tantalizing moments of serene joy,
listening as I walk along.

Watching the sun slowly sinking upon the ocean, it's
reflections filling the surface, rippling and taking
it for a ride, slipping below the water.

Disappearing finally, out of sight, looking up in the
dark sky, seeing stars twinkling their merriment at
being given an opportunity to shine upon earth.

Their purposes finally being utilized where we on this
earth are finally able to see and celebrate with them,
enjoying their beauty nightly.
