In the Dappled Shade

"Life is serene on a hammock with the ocean waves crashing behind you"
                                             - by Poet

Beautiful beach beckons, its sand pristine, 
         Crashing wild waves, melody to the soul,
Cacophony of seabirds sounds divine,
         Bathed by the sea, my bare feet take a stroll,
    In constant motion, the sea billows roll;
The ocean has the upper hand, so calm,
          I sit in the dappled shade of the palm,
Swinging in a hammock, resting my eyes,
          The soothing swell in the background, sweet balm,
    Perfect peace envelops me, no surprise!
