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.

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…
