Description
"Beach Sentinels"
by Debra and Dave Vanderlaan
... Towering oak trees stand
on the edge of the coast
on Jekyll Island...
This is the south edge
of Driftwood Beach,
also called Roots Beach
by the locals of Jekyll.
The island has thousands
of old oak trees,
gnarled and bent from years
of wind, storms, and tides.
Captured here at dawn,
the rays of the sun glow
on the coastal grasses
and mossy trails.
The ocean is calm,
the breeze light,
and the tide is low.
Many oaks have fallen
into the grasp of the waves
and tidal surges and lay
like dying soldiers along the surf.
These mighty oaks still stand,
braving the salty elements
in a grove in this natural beachfront park.
A lone bench beckons
the weary beachcomber to sit for awhile
and enjoy the warmth and joy
of a beautiful sunrise!
