Waves

The waves’ little licks, muss piles of sand; chalk blue horizons, bathe crystal-glass land. Wet basting breezes, Salted pink baby knees, oiled baby bottoms cool in the seas. Oceans reflect, the blue of turquoise; beneath candy striped umbrella’s toddle tikes playing with toys. I can tell you of the waves; the push and pull, the ceaseless tide, the tiny tumbled treasures of pebbles by my side. I can tell you of the waves; the sinking surface of sea and sand, joining all the clay of man; as he sinks into the Mother and melts into land. But the paper pages end and why should you sit here? The waves are calling to you with birds, boats and dreams.

Nifty alliterations and images... BRAVO Deb! Best wishes, Keith (Please take a look at 'Nightscapes' if you have time... a tribute to T.S. Eliot.)
