Like molten glass, under the blazing sun
The sparkling waves, sway to the sound of the sea.
The sea gulls above, dive to catch some fish
And into the cool sand I dig my feet.

On the far horizon, a lazy ship drops anchor
And with total abandonment, dances on the waves.
My heart reaches out, to be one with the waters
And rock to the music of the far reaching sea.

A pretty shell scrunched under my foot
A clump of seaweed, washed ashore.
Stay safe all fish, your life is in the water
And on the beach, I breathe deep.
