warm sun layers heat on the beach
like a house painter with a hangover
a cool morning grows into a hot day
the waves take no notice
people come and go through the day
picnics and surfing and just relaxing
enjoying a day on the sunny beach
the waves took no notice
I sit here and watch them all around me
the people the waves and the sun the sand
content for now to sit an observer only
the waves take no notice
through it all the sand remains calm
though the waves pound and feet kick
constantly distracted by everything
the waves take no notice
the sands do not care
Extremely lovely...a canticle and intensely deep. I love how a seemingly simple observation can pull up from us an amazingly powerful and emotional depth. You were meant to travel.
