Beach Roses
Salt-kissed petals, blush and pale,
Dance atop the dunes so frail.
Crimson blooms 'neath seagull cries,
Where the ocean meets the skies.
Sunlit gems on sandy throne,
In briny breeze, they've sweetly grown.
Roots entwined in earthy hold,
Guarding secrets, tales untold.
Tides retreat, their leaves they brush,
Silent songs in twilight's hush.
Moonlit paths on waves they cast,
In sandy soils, their fates are fast.
Beach roses, wild, in freedom's lease,
Painting shores in tranquil peace.
Against the storms, they stand, they pose,
Eternal guards, the beachside roses.
