DAILY STEPS

 

                                        DAILY STEPS

 

A vast pleasure, in sunshine, our morning walk,

tide out, glistening sand firm, no time to talk,

toes tingle, water laps, engulfing bare feet,

each step imprinted, but nature will delete.

 

On return, wash off sand, from beach track,

eager for daily cappuccino, or long black,

afternoon in shade, banana lounge by pool,

relax, write poetry, re-energize, refuel.

 

Post lunch snack, sun rays start to diminish,

tide in, stride forth, softer sand, tough finish.

Fishing fleet, fresh seafood at market post dawn,

tonight, succulent feast, of oyster, with prawn.
