Beach Day

We stand at the shore
Every age and size
Sunshine beating down
Glistening off rippling waves
Edging forward into the waves
Innocent blue sky children
Evolved to walk upright
Daring Belisama to reclaim us
Upright before it’s immensity
Extending beyond our horizon
We rush forward innocently
Away from heated sands
Unafraid of the power
Unaffected by the cold water
Testing the depths
Challenging the water
The joy and adrenaline
The laughter of generations
An expression of mastery
Of evolution, of fitness
My children and I
Walk toward the riptide
And scoff at the danger
