Sand.
Cool, wet
Beneath feet
Bare and sandal-ed.
Waves rolling closer,
Foaming on the beaches.
Color-flecked waves in the sun,
Colors collide as the waves leap,
Splashing, frolicking in the sunset.
Slowly, night closes upon the ocean.
Softly, a light grows in the eastern sky.
Dawn begins across the darkened waves.
As the sun comes up, light scatters.
Fleck's of light run this way, that.
Waves rolling on the beach.
Bare feet are dampened,
With cool splashes;
Particles
Of damp.
Sand.
