Changing tide!

Missing is the sandy shore; My beach is pictureque no-more. Somethings we look forward for: the summer, beach; being outdoor. And so almost everywhere, so many things people miss. Some are lost forever; there is that constant "risk". Things we took for granted, migrated to its new abode. With regrets we are haunted, when things "like" beaches erode. Whether it's life or beaches, treasures leave us behind. We work and build niches, but they "fade" with time. It's fatalism, or is it? From "tomorrow" can we hide? We lose, bit by bit, because of the changing tide!

We are losing a lot here because of the change coming to our small town of Platteville, lost jobs, lost manners, lost peace, safety, lost Catholic school, lost Chicago's Best in a fire, lost trips because of gas prices.

I know how it feels to see ones beach become pictureques no more

I remember when my beach had much forest and now it is wall to wall buildings. They (man) changed the normal formation of nature. Building where buildings should of never been. The sandy shore became less, which changes the reefs which change the sea life. Then they wonder why they are now seeing whales and sharks of breeds that never entered into the Atlantic before here. Not only have they changed my home but the sea lifes too all in the name of progress

I never wanted to be one of the top tourist places

Putting all that away. I try to remember how a pearl is formed from an oyster and maybe we will once more see a pearl. Maybe not the pearl it was before but a pearl. Thank you for this poem
