A Lazy Summer's Day

Down on the gleaming sandy beach on a lazy summers day.
The waves lapping the shore, washing in and creeping back out.
White surf highlight the breaking waves as gulls bob up and down.
Long grass peeks out of the steep dunes giving shelter from the cool breeze.
The big sun beating down warming the sand, taking the chill from the air.
Sea gulls in the air call out as if it were an opera in the sky.
Fluffy clouds, small and large, break up the light blue horizon.
And there I lie, wrapped up in the beauty, sleeping on this lazy summers day.
