Along These Shores

Walking slowly along battered shores,
Away from the rigors of everyday chores
The freedom I feel beneath my feet
So much better than ice cream treats

Waves land free and dance along
Whispering the lyrics to their ocean song
The calm I feel is wondrous indeed
As tidal waters come, then again recede

Looking out, as sails seemingly defy
Nature’s breaths, against morning sky
Later in the day, when feet are sore
I’ll again walk slowly, along these shores
