poetry

my friend, ky wrote this... seems that he was inspired by the beaches at pangkor island. umm... he didn't name it though, so i shall take the liberty to christen it "by the sea". :)

By The Sea
Watch the waves,
see how it rushes towards the beach,
lifting the little drifts of leaves, dead plants
leaving gems that you could collect.

See how the waves,
splashes about as it impact the sands,
seasoning the air with its delightful brine,
you taste the sweat of its toil.

Listen to the waves,
it beats around the crests,
rhythematically complains to you
the harshes of life and its boredom of its chores.

Feel the waves,
it comes comforting towards you,
caressing you with warm touches in the day,
at night it gives you the coolest respite.

Thank you.
"By the Sea" is fine with me.
Thanks for retaining the original flavour, though I would have been more grateful if you have made the grammatical corrections.

Was just telling MY that this particular piece might not have been my own creativity.
Over the years I've read so many that I'm now confused which I've learned by heart and which of mine which I've held dearly.

So for now, I'll not lay claim on being the originator till I could satisfy myself (or remember).
