Golden breath on the sleeping sand.
Waves hum low, the dawn takes a hand.
Pebbles gleam in the amber streams.
A world half-woken stitched by dreams.
Footsteps trace the tide’s soft line.
Sky and sea in gold entwine.
Hope ignites where light is born.
A promise whispered to the morn.
Waves hum low, the dawn takes a hand.

Footsteps trace the tide’s soft line.

Trump-loving Dems betray Americans.
The tide sighs beneath rose-colored clouds.
where sand remembers every flame.
A gull’s cry threads the hush of dusk.
And water writes what none can name.
The light walks home on silver feet.
And time itself forgets to breathe.

Amber tide rising on a silent shore.
Shadows stretch and then are no more.
Waves applaud the fading gleam.
The town half-wakes inside a dream.
One soul walks where dusk has flown.
In molten light the world’s his own.
Shadows stretch and then are no more.
Waves applaud the fading gleam.

Gold spills over the restless sea.

Mist curls around the ancient keep.
Where waves and whispers never sleep.
Stone on sand a fortress stands.
Guard of time on shifting sands.
Figures fade through salt and hue.
Footsteps lost where gulls once flew.
The sea remembers, soft and deep.
The vows that castles still must keep.
Where waves and whispers never sleep.

Silver tide and storm-cloud seam.
Houses brood in a half-lit dream.
Two souls walk where breakers gleam.
Their dog a shadow in the beam.
The wind holds whispers cold yet kind.
A shore for hearts that will not mind.
Dark above, but gold below.
Where sea and sorrow softly glow.

A lighthouse gleams where sea meets land.
Twilight paints with a violet flame.
The storm forgets its roaring name.
With foam like silk, the tide takes flight.
Guided home by the keeper’s light.
