Beachcombers


The air so fresh, the sky’s so bright

My day begins with such delight.

With glee surfers glide on a glass-blue floor

while sandcastle dreams return to shore.



The sand is mellow, the sea breezes slight

the afternoon heat brings white hot light.

With sand underfoot as I gaze out to sea 

where horizons and oceans push to be free.



The gulls sweep for scraps as they swoop all around


Their caws in the distance no eerie sound.  

The waves stretch up, the breakers crash down

with seashells like fossils found in the ground.



When amber mirages retreat for the night

then shades of pastels herald twilight.
