Endless Summers spent by the sea
with the warming Summer breeze
blowing softly over my salty skin
The breeze that carries scents of
suntan lotion and late afternoon barbeques

This same breeze carries the shrieks
of joy and laughter from the children
the barking of dogs and splashing of
the bathers who immerse themselves
into the brilliant blue sea
The sunworshippers are here
as they baste and bronze
their 'perfect' bodies

As the day nears its end
the evening tide makes its way
gracefully onto the shore
The gulls wade in the shallows
and the lovers emerge
hand in hand to view
nature's spectacular show -
the final curtain of the day

As the sun melts over the horizon
in a brilliant display of
azure pink and gold
the sun's slow departure signals
the gulls to fly en masse
as the last of the light
fades into the distance

Then the night brings forth
it's own spectacular show complete
with a diamond encrusted sky
The lovers embrace by the water's edge
as the day is all but over
And the night introduces it's galaxy of stars

Even for those of us who aren't perfect and don't bronze our bodies...you still bring smiles of enjoyment...who could resist the giggle of a child...?
