Mornings Like This

I love mornings that start out simply like this
         filling me with tidings of rambling walking bliss
            searching the path for sea glass, rocks and shell
               listening to the many stories the beach has to tell

            murmurs of seagulls and the egrets dancing glance
         the scurry of crabs across sands of happenstance
      then the sight of a sparkling green gem does appear
   to elicit a delighted sigh and sometimes a big cheer

   watching the pulse of waves roll upon the soft shore
      the downy foam as it swirls to kiss my feet like velour
         as above comes the morning canvas of sunrise soft hues
            against the cerulean kept dew from the night’s navy blues 

            it’s time to return home from my early wander-lust walk
         amid the squawking and flapping of the ocean-side talk
     my pockets are all full of my wonderful found treasures
  that keep me attuned to my homes many pleasures

This is an inspiring walk Jeanne. I I love the cacophony of an early morning beach walk.
