In The Moment
There is nothing to distinguish
this day from any other
down on the beach
children splash into the shallows
dogs sprinting after soggy balls
flung from loose limbed strollers
while swallows carve the air
with cursive dashes
how easy to forget
this scene will keep repeating
in all the seaside towns
long after you’ve departed
your breath and essence
mingling with the salt and spray
for today observe your pleasure
then exhale in silent thanks.
