The coastline…
The Coastline
A Poem by Coyote Poetry
In January 1991, I drove from Michigan to California. I wrote this poem the day I saw the Ocean.

The Coastline..
I fell in love with her on a December morning.
I stop my truck and I was star struck at her beauty.
Her power.
I walk quickly to her.
She was dancing on the shore.
Nothing could equal her beauty.
I gazed in wonder for hours sitting on the sand.
How could I have not escape to her beauty before this day?
Now I walk up and down the shore.
Watching the waves.
The beauty of her be-witched my heart.
I knew when I left her.
I would yearn for her sight.
Never be complete till she was dancing my feet again.
My love was the Pacific ocean.
The peaceful sea.
I wish to be with her today.

Beautiful well written piece. My brother and I made that trip Michigan to California. This piece reminded me of that trip. You put into words some of things I’ve been feeling for years. Thank you for sharing.

I did the trip three times. I was station at Fort Ord, California. I was single and I took five days each way. I need a road trip and thank you Mangus for reading and the comment.
