Blanket To Blanket Rests Atop the Sands

Blanket to blanket rests atop the sands
Evolving with bodies upon its threads
And nothing more is lovely than the hands
Castles are carved with curved in feet and heads
Hour after the hour, sunlight and sands

Beloved beauty befriends all to the beach
Loosely the waters cool our warmth with waves
All surfer dudes and surfboards colored peach
Navigate lakes as nomads do with caves
Kneeling to waves...surfer to surfer waives
Eclipsed by showers of a perfect wave
Tuned in by viewers that voice out and rave

Bring out your boats and beads and blue balloons
Intake the beach and all it is for man
Nice to see families and their platoons
Go out and play; swim trunks, sunlight and tan
Oh lovely day, and all shall come again

Johnny Sumler
