morning sunshine raised its hands
lazily wavering above the salty breeze,
crashing waves stole across
the beach, carrying off sandy plunders

the warm morning breeze
sneezed its way to my attention-
blows of coconuts
awakened the seagulls

along the pier
majestic views greeted me-
silent palm trees
as genuflecting subjects

grumbling crabs
made their trek across
the rocky sandbar,
as drummers announcing my presence

salty dews caressed
my wrinkled fingers,
as smooth satin
around a sculpted marble

seaside hotels
awaken to the noise
of early surfers
plowing the ocean

with a lingering turn,
I walked away-
brushing each posts
with each step
