Enjoying the necture of Nature

Awe of the sea gull's fancy flight patterns
Brings me walking early in morn's first light

Seeking a moment, slowly watching the sunrise, I see
Iridescent colors of wonder different from at night

Secret guests come to my Sea-Shore Breakfast
Some are imaginary, even the porpoise is in flight

Off in the distance, a gorgeous sun begins to rise
Burnt orange, reds, sky blues are peeking within sight

Flattening out my blanket, making certain of comfort
I'm thankful of God's present, grateful that He might

Offer me this miraculous morn' of having Breakfast
With the jumping fish and crawling crabs 'n plight

I'm glad we're alone on this quiet Sea-Shore, smelling
Salt water with dirt scrunching in my toes very tight

Maybe on my next go-round having nectar at the sea,
I'll invite a guest to enjoy these miracles with me

The fragrance and perfumes coming off the sands
Embed themselves forever in the window of the sea

I smell kingdoms of unknown and known fragrances
And hear the swirling flurries of the breeze

Won't you please consider - collecting shells, watching birds, and
Strolling the Sea-shores; traveling through the shores with glee.
