The Coastal Road

 

 The coastal Road

The roaring of the ocean
Took away my attention.
The winding coastal road
Awash with the spatter of waves.
 
The humans yearning to command.
Carved a road from the ocean sand
Like a butter knife cutting through
A frozen block of salted butter.
 
The majesty of the blue ocean
Linking continents.
From East to West and North to South
Its beauty humbles humans.  
                          
Lined on the other side
Rainforests, green in all its shades.
Basked in the receding sunshine
Eager for a glimpse of the setting sun.
 
The Sun in all its grandeur
Decked like a bride
With face shining bright
Chaperoned from East to West.
 
As I strolled down.
The coastal road merged.
Between the ocean and the forests
Into an expanse of sea sand.
 
The Sun is now at its docile best
Took the horizon in its stride
Sucking in all the light,
For the world to rest another night.
 
The darkness soon engulfed
The ocean, the sea sand, and the forest.
The birds and animals
All in eerie silence.
 
Then I saw him - a Sage,
A human silhouette.
Rising from the ocean, crossing the sands
To merge with the forest ahead.
 
Hair entangled,
Like darkened rays of the sun.
Eyes calm, penetrating.
To view the world around.
 
After sanctifying the ocean,
Its flora and fauna,
The Sage returns to his forest.
Only penance could absolve the world.
