Poetry: A day at the beach

STOLEN MOMENTS

Feel the sun on your skin
Warm sand between your toes
As the tide rushes in
Removing stressful woes

All your cares seem far away
As you swim, giggle and play
You can work on your tan
Or build castles of sand
On this gorgeous day

Finally summer is here
You've waited all year
Now, it's time to relax
Away from your office,
Your phone and your fax

Time to put real life aside
And escape to this place
There are swimsuits to buy
Surfboards to ride
And jet-skis to race

The time is now
To enjoy these stolen moments
And try to make them last
For real life will soon return
And they will then fade all too fast

    Slipping through swollen fingers.

    Emerald eyes radiate joy

    As the memory of youth lingers.

    From the beach you watch the waves roll in,

    let them come to you, let it begin.

    They bring with them the essence of

    by Sufjan Simone

    Gulls scythe the skies with their wings and cries
    Mad from endless journeys on ceaseless seas.

    Wind whips sand against my
