Summer's Day

Slow summer's day rythmic ocean waves soften beach shores into tender clay as morningbyrds tour crystal clear skies over gentle lukewarm tides somewhere miles from home Crystal air and intide foam cools painful sand hot and smooth against my hands Rising intides hiding sand castles and tidal litter palmfuls of hot sand sparkle like glitter burning my tender hands like sunburn blisters Worn from the sand's rising heat found cool shade beneath veradant leaves and dreamt until eve Walking barefoot homeward bound savored the ocean's last hushed sounds lost in verdant camoflouge thirsting fresh water , summer's mirage passing orchard fields tasting summer's yield its litter...sweet , ripe and bitter its temptation's like dodging sunlight Amidst eve's paradise slept through night until first light
