Beach Time

The tiniest of waves on the surface of the lake

Make a starlight pattern as far as the eye can see

Bright to look at, cheery, too, and inviting

As the wind surfers gather, shooting across the water,

Their sails of yellow, orange, blue and fluorescent green,

Zipping one way and then another, crossing the horizon,

Up the long pier and beyond the lighthouse

Straining their muscles to hold on tight to their flight

A quick breather as they glide onto the mound of sand

Bearing ripples of its own as the wind dictates

Each grain of sand to its rightful place in the scene

Beneath the deep blue sky and cotton clouds on high.
