Beachwalking

I walk barefoot on the beach Where the water greets the land. Waves with their wet fingers reach, Then retreat from where I stand. White foam fizzles on the sand. I pick up some rocks and shells, Watch the shorebirds dive and fly As the ocean ebbs and swells, Plovers skitter, seagulls cry, Soundless pelicans glide by. 8/3/2017
