THE SHADOW COAST

I live on the shadow coast
Where silhouettes of shoreline
Line a forgotten reel of memory
The prattle of all the city noise
Drowned by thunderous waves.

I sense the sea is boiling hot
Full of discontent and apprehension
Any day the waves will eat the shore
Erode the earth, and break the rocks
And tear apart this human landscape.

I live in the shadows, hiding
From discontent, tension and strife,
For one day we shall have to
Deal with this subjected fear,
Of when the world falls apart...

Author's Note: I wrote this a year ago and with the current events, I thought I'd post it. I live by the ocean and the sun rises on the ocean. Hence, the shadow coast Peace
