Stunning in beauty
Fine sand
Summer sun
Walk a mile
and back again
Shifting tableaux
of high clouds and azure sky
or fog on the horizon
Here the ocean
becomes Fundy Bay
Restless waves
or resting, silent sea
Comb the beach
Build a castle
Bring a chair
Read a book
Luxuriate
Fall Asleep
But – note to self:
Don’t go in the water!
40 degrees F?
5 degrees C?
Dunno --
But you’re cold in an instant
Numb in a minute!
Ahhh Gary - there's a time on a hot day, just before high tide, when the water has crept slowly over the burning sand; those who live there know that the numbness can be slowed down by at least 30 seconds
ReplyDeleteHa Ha! I guess I need to live there to experience those 30 seconds of ecstasy! :)
