Lying on white sands I watched the sun kiss
the sea at dusk of day; waves break and spray
jagged rocks which point up to a twilight sky,
gulls, no need to fly, ride the wind like sailing
ships that walk the sea in glow of dying sun.
Embers of day fade and remove the mask of
sun's blinding light and heavens darken, night
dissolves the cloud sky showing all creation,
feeding my imagination, star light which has
travelled through time itself shines in my eyes.
This earth is cosmic dust, an island in an ocean
of time and space, a reality many refuse to face,
Almighty God blinds them with enlightenment.
Their faith is abandonment, the darkness inside
Us is a night sky, vast beyond our comprehension

I really like this poem! It has great imagery, your word choice is very good. I like "star light which has
travelled through time itself" - great expression!!
-
your words paint the picture as if it was you telling a story of it, nice entry, thank you good luck

honestly, ive never really liked nature poems because it has no emotion, and i'd rather see it for myself than hear about it.. people that like this type of write would certainly like it, hence your bronze medal, but this was very short and its not a poem i would typically be inspired by.. by no means am i trying to come off as cruel, this is just my opinion.. thank you for entering though and the best of luck.

Thank you for this beautiful entry in our contest for Rhyme and Flow, although this was an enjoyable read, we feel it does not fit the criteria we are looking for.
Please join us in future Rhyming contests...Sue and Jeff
