The serendipitous tide
Laps water along the side.
–
Bubbles rise out of wet sand
If you’re lucky, small sand crab in hand.
–
Rubbery kelp floats by bearing odd fruit
Sometimes entangled with our swimsuits
–
The salty scent of the ocean is clean
Adding beauty to all that is seen.
–
Gulls fill the air gliding like ships
Ready to feast on any bag of chips.
–
The sand is soft support for walks
Just be wary of super sharp rocks.
–
Waves crash hard a saltwater burst
If you drink any, it’s instant thirst.
–
Transistor radios crackle alive
One playing “I Will Survive”.
–
Sea and Ski and coconut fill the air
As beachgoers protect their skin with care.

This beach was my beach when as a kid
Nowadays it’s undergone such a skid…
