On the Beach

Gazing out on an aqua blue sea on a golden sunny day With a cool breeze in your face is such a happy stay As the surf rolls to the beach the children happily play With boats anchored out to the horizon in a fishing display And on the waves they body surf back to the beach Wind surfers fly on top of the waves with the water out of reach Girls in bikinis and men in board shorts walk along the water The scene I see is peaceful as a paradise ought a The day ends with the sun dipping slowly into the sea One perfect day on an Australian beach is where I want to be. © Paul Warren Poetry
