In Ocean Breeze

Long slow waves roll towards sandy beach breaking with white foam as they grow near as sound of surf fills the breeze and air is full of tang of salt just off shore in the rolling waves dolphins frolic swimming by breaking surface and diving deep a joyful sight to see overhead in sky blue bright light gulls soaring by and their calls pierce the air and the sound of their flapping wings champagne beach so cool and moist water washes so smooth cleansing away signs of footsteps as if they had never been dry churned sand higher lies so hot in bright burning sun beach towels bright with colors lie scattered like leaves fallen here striped umbrellas cast pools of shade over cabana chairs there where people in their swimwear lie hiding from bright sunshine others stroll along the sand brought hats of straw adorned bright colored bags hanging from their arms holding all that they need here there is one who passes by with swinging walk that catches eye auburn hair escapes the head and blows in gentle breeze And as I watch her saunter by and longing fills my heart Jasmine and Rose fills the air and she walks out of my sight soft white clouds floats overhead cutting off the light of sun as fading darkness fills my eyes and nothing is left to see
