A Thought
The summer sun
sends out its band
a flaxen flash
on grey peat sand.
In swiss chard dream
they run towards sea
a juniper triad
on wildwood beach
there are grapes and peaches
a time to be free.
Under colorful rays and pink sand
umbrellas billow
sandpipers sway.
It's nearing two
an ice cream vendor
nears the three
at an old Ford's fender.
The car was special
long ago, now its marred
time to go.
Finally with a taffy twist
three salty souls head home
behind them, the ocean mists.
The shore is sovereign
deep and cool
It's a palace of open light
nobody's fool.
