Sand-Splattered Faces
Soft orange light permeates moist skin;
Cascading down through
Wild Sun-bleached locks
Tickling zig-zag patterns
Across a small round chin.
Warm splinters of sensations spread
As droplets dribble;
Reverberating in skin-prickling dendrites
Little-by-little
They weave through each other
And gently cause
Hair follicles
To stiffly pause.
Wide eyes venture
Spirit Soars
Light blustering breezes bump
Against sun-stained sores
Crawl across stretched toes
That tangle themselves
In cool
Wave-weathered sand.
-Quickly-
Specks of sand-water elevate
Tanned legs carry eager faces forth
Blistered feet lift nimble bodies
In joyous grins
Sand-splattered faces contort.
Duck, dive! Roar, rout!
Leap, lob! Sprint, shout!
Joyous grins wear sand-splattered faces
Sand-splattered faces free from doubt.
