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.
