Basking in the sun
Taking in the tan
Lying by the sea shore
Not a worry no more
The sea breeze seeks
To brush by my cheeks
Constant lashings of the waves
Slow sounds in low octaves

Not a bother in the world

Free to laze easy
Nothing near from being busy
Moments of solitude
Feelings of gratitude
No one to intrude
Heightened my mood
Easiness held sway
Alone in a good way
None that I’m seeing
Engulfed all my being

Not a bother in the world

But then where is everybody?

  3. To be by the sea
    Getting a rest for thee
    Can be the way to be
    Except when you want one to see
    Nice rhyming as well
    Always swell

  7. I live near the sea and find it wonderful to walk along an empty beach and think things over.
    Loved the read.

  8. Ah, this takes me back to the sands of Bermuda, before I had Riley, and even while I was pregnant with her. The sea, its calming, rolling rhythm. Perfect answer to the prompt, Hank. Loved it. Amy

  9. Ah the final existential question, where is everyone. A challenge to atomistic individualism .... See what happens if too much sun and sea!

  17. The ending made me smile, Hank. I like a lot of the lines in this, especially '...nothing near from being busy...' we carry so much around with us--it's very good not to be near it for awhile.
