wading in the water, basking in the heat, sensation of the sea’s flirtation, sun’s ability. sea salt - the beach’s bouquet of red roses. the sand’s multi-pleasure - it’s hot, it clings, dances through the toes and under the flip flops. the nexus that releases an ebb and flow, climbing each lower limb as you sink deeper into the spell of earth, the sky, the sea, the scent. God’s presence is nigh. It’s all too much - you dive into its depths, letting your hair get wet, your eyes closed as if in the throes - a sensual pleasure. the excitement, the danger, the daring allure… throw in some sailboats, the kid-binging laughter, splashes, castles on the beach. why would anyone reach for a towel? to towel off is to give up, to go home - this feels like home. 6/6/2022

Hope you are not in the hot sun. It can be painful. It's the reason I don't go to swim.

It is an exciting feeling to be walking in water. The wet feel it gives, the ebb and flow of water through our toes, the touch of salty spray with the warmth of sunlight kissing us, the sand's slippery feel.... everything is so pleasurable and we marvel at God's wondrous creation. A lovely poem, Kim.
