The waves glisten as the crash upon the sand;
The beach shimmers in the early morning;
The sun rises with colors so grand.
Seagulls dance along the strand,
In the water’s edge they are playing;
The waves glisten as the crash upon the sand.
The surf, still cold upon my hand,
Against my skin is crashing;
The sun rises with colors so grand.
Pinks, golds, purples, oranges and blues reflect across the water and the land;
In the sky, higher and higher the sun is gliding;
The waves glisten as they crash upon the sand.
Darkness gives in to dawn at nature’s command,
As clouds take on a gold lining;
The sun rises with colors so grand.
Wonder and beauty surround me as on the beach I stand,
Captivated and watching,
The waves glisten as they crash upon the sand;
The sun rises with colors so grand.

So this is my April’s Fool on myself, because this poem is about the beach. It takes place there, where I am not but would like to be. And now the irony, is that is where my son is enjoying a weekend with buddies at a State Skills USA competition.
