Water's Edge

Watched the moon from water's edge

Where the waves they laid to rest

In pools of moonlight on the shore

Shining for the coming dawn

The roads we built across the land

Had faded in the changing sands

Beneath the tide so pure and cold

We dreamt until our dreams grew old

And when the fire of our minds

Had dulled and burnt right through our time

We rose and staggered up the beach

Just beyond the ocean's reach

I love this so much. I love the ocean, and this is a beautiful poem that fits how I feel perfectly. This is beautiful.

Excellent! I really like this! It's short, grabs, and hold's one's attention.
