A Poem

Dazzling brilliant sun 

A hot cloudless summer's day

A perfect cerulean sky

Off to the beach we go today.

A dynamic canvas of vibrant blue sea

A scattered field of glittering diamond tips

As far as my eyes can see

Refracting light over the water's golden lips.

A salty warm breeze greets you and me

Hidden notes of earthy ocean flow

Sunbeams piercing through the sea

Shifting patterns of light and shadow.

Coarse, golden, sandy beach

Gentle flats and wide dunes

Miles of land at water's reach

Rippled patterns greet the sea.

Floating among the waves

Bobbing heads, splashing din

A current carries me away

Undulating swells caress my skin.

The world fades for a moment's bliss

Beneath the swirls of oscillating tide

The warmth from the sun's kiss

Reaches the water on the ocean side.

A perfect day of sea and sand.

We say goodbye to the beach and head inland.
