spiralling high up in the skies a rainbow dragon greets my eyes and spins itself a mystery tale within its streaming dreaming tail over majestic Pacific ocean swells and landlocked hearts deepest wells; laugh screams the dragon, in swoop and dive, for it's a good day, just to be alive to enjoy the tickle of sand between toes the salty air as it tingles the nose and today no one knows I am here but the wind blowing in my hair dangling my feet over rocky ledges past all the waving beachside sedges, coastal birds frolick in their teasing game, and no one here but the wind knows my name |

Oh, Kacy! I love every syllable of this, but I adore most of all: "and today no one knows I am here but the wind blowing in my hair" and "and no one here but the wind knows my name" Those lines I am wrapping around myself like sunshine on a winter's day. - Owl |

Enjoyed the read, Kacy and - "it's a good day, just to be alive" Yes, as every day should be but we forget, don't we? Your poem helped me to remember - thank you! |
