Serene and unblemished
Undisturbed, unashamed
In its natural state
A fervent hope of being discovered
Feigning a virgin in all its modesty
A sandy beach hidden
From marauders
Only a cool breeze
To keep company
Only a cool breeze
To keep company
Or pebbles laden river
Blissfully gleaming
Sensuously flowing
In the upper reaches
Virtually untouched
Not a soul in sight
Uncharitable to intruders
All on their own, undeterred
Perceived home of spirits
Mysteriously alive
But meager in all others
Menacingly quiet
Excruciatingly quiet
Distraught and neglected
Distraught and neglected
Only ripples gurgling
In the morning sun
An occasional deluge though
A rare tsunami rearing its ugly head
Devastating all in its path or
A rare tsunami rearing its ugly head
Devastating all in its path or
Curses of midnight showers
Flooding the surrounding vegetation
Flooding the surrounding vegetation
Otherwise virtuously
A maiden adorable in nature

Hank, it really must be wonderful to be able to visit and spend time at an undisturbed and undiscovered beach. I loved the way you described it as a 'maiden adorable in nature.'
ReplyDeleteWow that would be a nice place to find peace and quiet
ReplyDeleteNo one around, all should surely get a chance to try it
hank this sounds and looks like a beautiful hideaway...and could be very romantic as well...would love to escape to a place like that...
ReplyDeleteoh nice...this sounds like a small paradise..i love the beach and so enjoying my time at the beach here in california
ReplyDeleteI want to go there now, Hank. Your descriptions of that place are inviting. We have a beach coast south of here that is considered virgin as well, in fact, I have been asking my husband if he wouldn't like to go there soon.

That first photo makes me want to be there, Hank, and the second is beautiful, too. I love rivers.

Simple landscapes foretell million years of history behind it. We mere mortals are endowed by Allah to enjoy such untold pleasures which is a reflection of Jannatul-naim. May you be blessed, Hank.
ReplyDeleteUncle Hank,
ReplyDeleteBut we remember seeing some man made structures for "dirty" but necessary calls of nature erected in the middle of rivers in the NAD hinterland. Spoiling an otherwise serene surroundings. purrr...meow!
Beaches are wonderful ... they bring us closer to nature !!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Hank but monsoon is not the best season here especially at the beginning of this year.
ReplyDeleteHank, you captured one of my favorite things--not just the sandy beach, that sense of being the only one in the wilderness, magic can happen! And a beautiful ending :-)
ReplyDeleteI really like how you compared the sandy beach to innocence, virginity. There are not many pristine places in this poor world anymore. I remember Hawai'i when it was like that, before tourists overtook it.
ReplyDeleteYou've penned the contrast so well.
ReplyDeleteLovely - glad I visited
ReplyDeleteAloha from Waikiki, my Friend
