In ocean breeze

Folder: 
Cries in the night

Long slow waves roll towards sandy beach

     breaking with white foam as they grow near

as sound of surf fills the breeze

     and air is full of tang of salt

 

just off shore in the rolling waves

     dolphins frolic swimming by

breaking surface and diving deep

     a joyful sight to see

 

overhead in sky blue

     bright light gulls soaring by

and their calls pierce the air

     and the sound of their flapping wings

 

champagne beach so cool and moist

     water washes so smooth

cleansing away signs of footsteps

     as if they had never been

 

dry churned sand higher lies

     so hot in bright burning sun

beach towels bright with colors lie

     scattered like leaves fallen here

 

striped umbrellas cast pools of shade

     over cabana chairs there

where people in their swimwear lie

     hiding from bright sunshine

 

others stroll along the sand

     brought hats of straw adorned

bright colored bags hanging from their arms

     holding all that they need here

there is one who passes by

     with swinging walk that catches eye

auburn hair escapes the head

     and blows in gentle breeze

 

And as I watch her saunter by

     and longing fills my heart

Jasmine and Rose fills the air

     and she walks out of my sight

 

soft white clouds floats overhead

     cutting off the light of sun

as fading darkness fills my eyes

     and nothing is left to see
