Savour the Dawn

The Challenge is as follows;

Write a poem about the perfect day, or morning or evening, or perfect whatever.

Include your senses, such as sight, smell, and taste.

Use words that describe the scene so we can experience the day as you would want to experience it.

I am by the sea.

I hear it, in the distance.

Its relentless, unending surge.

I taste the day, as I yawn.

Sweet with sunshine, lighting the gap and

Breaking the shield of night's curtains.

I feel its warmth, it coaxes a slick sheen of sweat,

As it focuses on waking me.

It stirs me.

It is time.

Its flavour has beguiled me,

The prospect of light and play

In sand and surf

A call for action.

I am eager for the salt

On my skin.

I want my legs to feel the moon's pull,

The drag and the sudden push,

The anticipation of the crash,

The unexpected muffling of the underwater world,

As I fall below.

But first, fuel.

To eat the fresh pastries,

Golden too, like the day,

Tender and buttery from the oven warm.

Smothered with rich fruit stickiness

And savoured for their decadence,

Washed down with hot tea.

Holiday food, treats from foreign culture.

They melt away

Deliciously

On my tongue

Warming my hungry tum

Sating my need for strength.

I will need their energy

To compete with Nature's power.

Sea is my happy place, always. I am drawn to it. I wrote this based on a morning where we stayed by the beach, and the weather was good and the surf was up, and we ate croissants for breakfast. My family were there too, my loved ones but I've chosen to concentrate on the experience for me. I love the earliness of days, the dawns, the fresh starts.

I've enjoyed reliving this memory. Thanks for the challenge, Jazzy!
