Summer By the Ocean
The sun’s rays
Beat through the clouds,
Creating silver sparkles
Upon the crest of the waves,
Which surround the lonely sailboat drifting
Towards the small rocky island.
Green tuft of trees, like hair,
Growing over the bald spots.
Small cottage clinging to the point
Like a poor man’s castle.
The arbutus are shedding their rusty peel,
Revealing rich golden nakedness beneath.
Pine fragrance hovers around me
From trees not yet eaten by the pine beetle.
I hear my hound rustling in the leaves behind me
As she chases yet another annoying insect,
While sitting on my bluff
Surveying the never ending landscape.
Wide open skies and great expanse of ocean,
Toy sailboats in the hazy distance,
Sound of lapping waves below me.
Mother Nature has outdone herself again!
