As Saunters in the Day
Virginia Salter

waves roll
bells toll
wheels spin the ground
ebb and flow
swells grow
of life and blood and sound

splashing
crashing
singing echoes from on wing
feathers fly
o’er watchful eye
where sparrows stand and cling

sandpipers pipe
kelp lies in stripes
hermits fiddle hours away
a golden sun
ends winters spun
as saunters in the day

Virginia--
I love the title and the flow of this.  Wonderful write.

I search the night to fan salvation's spark."

Thank you all very much.  One thing I'm curious about because it wasn't mentioned, though it really need not be.  Yet, I'm wondering if any of you knew it was an ocean beach scene.

Yes, you're right, ME, I'm being ridiculous that readers wouldn't sense that.
