Evening rouses and fixes her eyes on the summer rich dunes
She casts her pale calm
Slowly stretching and billowing, gently floating to the graying
sand
Cooling the sun’s relentless burn
Her pastel breezes perform a seductive dance that caress the
tall grasses
Massaging and persuading the release of their unyielding
posture
The downy plumes bowing in echo to the impulsive ocean’s
roll
Energies colliding and reabsorbing, colliding, reabsorbing,
colliding, reabsorbing
The undulating sand chills under the searing sky
Its encore a live wire blaze of goldenrod, marigold, and coral
Diving into the depths of gradient blue
Giving new degrees of warmth to the salt air
Blossoming with succulent life, woody stems, arid sands
Ground hugging bushes of a prickly nature
Find themselves in good standing with the soft needle trees
of small stature
Abud with tender new life
All in harmony with the pink and yellow tufts of button-faced
flowers
Who find their good nature reciprocated in cheerful
star-shaped chubby hands
Gifted in mother nurturing palms threaded with profound
lines of happiness
