Life Is a Beach

‘Life is a beach and sometimes you fry’

Sun-crested waves meander towards castles in sand from our high hopes of flow
teasing our scorched driftwood channelling waters caressing high tides and low
sun burn riptides and undertow rally trust in the life guards’ experience of sinking
request a hatful of hope and emotion a sunscreen of love and reorganised thinking

Thank you. Three of my kids work as life guards on the Pembrokeshire beaches and I want their lives to flow...
