alone in dreams

Alone it dreams
The inner bay where the water is shallow
I rolled up my trousers leg and waded out to see
the small polished stones
With sunlight and the clear sea, the stones had
The appearance of diamonds to kill for.
I took up a few, but in my hands, they quickly lost their
lustre; threw them back, my feet were cold, it was not
Yet summer, when the inner bay would be full of bathers
who wished the beach were sandy.
