That Comfort Place

That comfort place

Sun-streaked sky

And blue on waves of blue

A kite to catch the eye

Bright sounds of laughter too

Gulls that shriek and dip a wing

Crusted crabs are scrambling

Days of warmth and grace

in that comfort place

Hazy sand

Mirages sway and dance

Boards bobbing bravely

Awaiting their next chance

Umbrellas that reflect the sun

Footsteps leading one by one

The timeless tides erase

in that comfort place

Fingers twined

We lay a blanket nest

Energies unwind

And breezes call to rest

The surf sings lullaby to ears

A music that the world reveres

Each note a lazy pace

in that comfort place

At world’s end

The Star begins to sink

Colors mingle artfully

With darkness on the brink

A lovely lapse of memory

Adrift upon an endless sea

A season to embrace

in that comfort place
