A Walk On the Beach

Strolling morn, down early the the beach in I lift my face for a salt breeze kiss. A seagull breaks the silence with its call, forlorn. Strolling morn, down early the the beach in God's creation awakens and is reborn, and for now all my cares I can dismiss. Strolling morn, down early the the beach in I lift my face for a salt breeze kiss. 7/16/16 For Broken Wings One Stanza Only contest 1st Place
