Skinny Dip

End of day at Rathmullan.
Footprints only in the sand. 
No one walking hand in hand.
Sun in the distance, I'm in shade.
I wade in, unafraid.
OMG that familiar feeling.
Water so cool, my head is reeling.
In a little while I adjust.
No one to see my naked bust.
As I splash and dive to the sea bed.
Then with a gulp, I raise my head.
Such fun and frolics all alone.
Then I quickly dress and hurry home.

Thank you Maurice. I have been to Australia twice, nursing first on the Gold Coast, then Palm Island for 5 months, off Townsville, with Aboriginals. Lovely people . My older sister and her husband have recently moved into their dream home, on the coast between New south Wales and Queensland. Must get back to visit some day....
