The Beach

The sunny day begins hot and humid,
the perfume of sunscreen and sea salt in the air,
the sun shines brightly through the transparent leaves of the thick green trees,
everyone you see is dusted lightly with sand from the beach,
no worries,
a free feeling,
nothing you have to do,
plenty of time to waste,
smiling faces,
food as you desire,
unplanned pingpong matches,
sipping wine,
conversing with the ones you once knew years ago,
children laughing and playing,
this is the life everyone waits for,

and we are living it today.
