Hidden Treasures of Summer

Toes are dug into the sand,the sun chases the clouds away. Traveling along the sugared shore I search for treasures of the sea. Scalloped edges or smooth as silk I hunt for them the live-long day. Determined to find what I can for these are just like jewels to me. Shiny shards of old sea glass or many hued and lovely shells. Colors of magnificence or pewtered layers in the sands. I cherish every prize I find that's washed up in the sudden swells. These treasures are useful to me for things I create with my hands. The sun blazes and paints my skin as I continue on my quest. I'll take a dip into the sea to cool down and rejuvenate. Filtering sand through my fingers I look for and only keep the best. My bucket's full, I'm happy as a clam now as the day grows late. This day has been a wondrous journey that I wish would never end. I love the sea and all it holds for mankind to experience. Taking my jewels with me now I walk the shoreline 'round the bend. My heart is filled with gladness and a feeling of peace so immense! for contest "Write me a summer day" written June 9th,2013
