Emily M.

Serenity

Sun beams as waves crash

Sand glistens in a cool breeze

Seagulls soar above the dunes

Adults sip Coronas with lime

Chatham, Cape Cod, summertime

 

Seals dance on the jagged rocks

Kites fly in the cloudless blue sky

Popsicles drip florescent colors

Ocean is layered with aqua foam

This is what we know as home

 

Feet sink into the wet sand

Water soon up to knees

Taste of salt upon the tongue

Fish as one, as you and me

Float aimlessly into the sea
