Lying in a Hammock at the Beach
Overhead above the palm trees soar seagulls,
Seagulls meet the sea where pelicans feed,
Floating with the ocean waves.
Down on the beach collecting seashells by the seashore,
The children begin a beautiful collection
To bring home for future recollection.
To my right,
In a tower of wood above the sand,
The savior of lives
A lifeguard stand.
I swing in the wind.
And to think this type of luxury is without sin.
