catching small moments
a conch shell held to my ear
tells me stories of the
sea
of winding paths lined with blue cast shadows
horizons that beckon and tease
one more hill
sea-salt fragrance
freedom
giddiness and joy
sailing boats crested over
effervescent enthusiasm of little boys
their big splash
one hundred things to search for
dolphins slipping like quick silver
in and out of view,
bopping heads of surfers
pirate ships or mermaids
imaginations race with the wind,
tickling waves
quicksand slips beneath my feet
All beautiful and they make me so happy!
