The dark hues of blue
streaks of aqua
quiet laughter upon the sands,

The brine, the squawks of gulls,

Autumn,

An excuse to go to the beach!

Watching spots where sea is black

Brilliant, stark blueness

White sands reflecting light

Playing tag with the sun's fullness

Clouds follow people

Dashing to end the summer

Hiding stories filled of love

Retold here every summer

The hot burn of the sand

Replaced with tennis shoes

And smelly socks,

A purple sweatshirt

No body parts showing.

The end of September

The end of summer

Carol, this is a beautiful piece. I love the beach in the autumn and winter when it's quiet and peaceful and you need to bundle up a bit to protect against the cool sea breeze. My favorite lines were "Clouds following people Dashing to the end of summer". And I love the clouds in the photo.
