Wide-eyed & in awe, I walk along the beach
with the senses in full alert, new images to explore;
the sunlight dancing on the surface of the water
sparkle like diamonds on a necklace;
At the distance the young sea otters are so relaxed
on their backs rhythmically bobbing up & down in the
middle of the beach they look so busy and peaceful
feeding out there where the water hardly moves;
While grey pelicans in formation gracefully glide
through the air effortlessly journeying away;
the wind gives the sapphire blue waters
a gentle stroke creating undulating ripples;
The water in a slow and gentle flow to & fro frolics
on the lonely shore; seagulls soar above, dipping
& diving, spiralling & landing on the rocky landscape,
with overhanging green ironwood trees around the beach;
In a gigantic embrace the jungle-clad mountain brings
the natural perfume of the vegetation on the sandy beach
& the red-black granular and fine colored sand stained by
the iron-rich dirt that oozes down when it rains;;
All come together to manifest the wonders of God’s
creation on earth.
