a beach

By WhoIAM

It is hard to imagine

a beach

with my bare feet
planted firmly in its sands

a seagull watching

i hope it is
warm
but not so much so

and i hope i have a bag
with a sandwich in it
and i hope the sandwich is big
so i can feed the seagull
as well, if not better than,
myself

and i hope the sun is just cresting noon
and i don't have to work the next day
and could amble madly
into the surf
and swim
out then in

in then out

A former member wrote: Brings about that sensation for the yearning of childhood and the carefree existence and simple pleasures that go with it. The first line creates an interesting set-up and sets an almost wistful tone as if to say this is something that can be wished for but not achievable due to unspoken circumstances.
