I need a positive poem. The Coastline
The Coastline
A Poem by Coyote Poetry
In 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.

I lived near her for three years. I was station at Fort Ord. Monterey was paradise. You were lucky to be able to live near the sea.

To me. The Atlantic is beautiful and more powerful. There are more tales and mystery for the Atlantic ocean. I was stationed in Georgia at Fort Steward for three years. I enjoyed the Georgia coastline a lot.
