Shores of Love

Shores of Love

 

I sit, feet dug into the chilled sand the salt breeze cooling my face. Even in the darkness, I can see the waves breaking on the shore. The moon's sad face hangs low in the northern sky, as the wall of clouds approaches, announcing the rage to come. The sky over the churning sea was muddled in gray. Only the flash of lightning made the oncoming deluge obvious. The stars hide, cowering behind, thick ominous blankets of angry clouds. With the breeze rising to a wind, and the sand nipping at my face, I smiled. I feared not the rain, gale winds or ravaging waves. I smiled. Others ran for the shelter of their cars, or a nearby beachfront home leaving behind their will to fight for their piece of loving shoreline. I smiled. Large wet drops of icy water fall on me now. Pushed by the wind, it took only moments for me to be drenched. I shivered. I smiled. I do not fight the cold, or cover my head. I welcome the rain and wind. I devour the chills. The storm is above me now thrashing its fierce arms, trying to force me off this shore. I smile. Waves cover my legs. The ocean leaves its unwanted mess on the shore and all around me. Wind water sand lightning and thunder surround me. The roar of the squall screams into my ears like a banshee's horrifying cries. I smile. Love brought me to this shoreline. I have seen thousands of beautiful days, and heart warming nights sitting on this sand. The sun's warming light lingers in my heart. My mind sees all the star flooded skies we have shared. I smile. These storms will not remove me from this shore. I sit, not feeling the frigid wind on my wet skin, or fearing the angry waves and wind. Feet dug in the chilled sand. I smile, waiting for our next summer day.
