Sand


Walking along enjoying the sunrise on the beach,

waves crash and the little puppy's tail wags.

We play in the white foam amongst scattered pebbles

mixed with various shells lining the water’s edge.

The wind blows white caps on the water

as the sun comes up hidden behind clouds

of orange, blue, and gray tinted white.

A lone gull flies gracefully over our heads

against the gentle but steady wind.

Green sea glass shimmers in the sand,

like gold nuggets in a miners pan.

An osprey cries from the chimney of our old house,

while the warm water caresses my puppy laden feet.

We head back inside for breakfast,

together here in this moment with my little friend.

Time stands still, worries are far off, thinking only

of the two of us and nothing more.

Plenty of time for fear, anxiety, and pain later,

or maybe not…I have some green nuggets from the beach

with me, to remind me of our moment
 
together in the sand.
