Summer coming to an end

The Labor Day weekend turned out

to be great beach days. The waves were rough

but alot of fun. Tuesday - Saturday are

predicted to be rainy and cold.

I won't pick this week next year for vacation!

Restless Sea

Waves

A Wave
I sat on the beach and a beautiful wave

Came tumbling right up to me.

It threw some pink shells on the sand at my feet,

Then hurried straight back out to sea.

It ran away swiftly and leaped up in foam;

It bumped other waves in its glee.

I think it was hurrying to gather more shells,

To bring as a present for me.

Sunrise, Sunset

Sitting out here

Over looking the ocean

Watching the waves

As they crash upon the shore.

Wishing I could hear

that beautiful sound more.

The sunset provides

All the beautiful colors

Shining down

On the deep blue sea.

They combined so peacefully

As the bright colors fade away.

And dawn turns to dusk

Stars slowly emerge from the sky

And shine brightly

Upon you and I.

The moon provides

It's radiant light

Glowing beautifully

In the night.

Soon the darkest

Is overcome

By the sun once again.

And the deep dark sky develops into day

As the stars and moon diminish

As you start to see the sunray.
