5.25am

A weekend away

Quiet time by the sea

Time to just hangout.

Time for you and me.

In the morning at 5.20,

You ask if I’m keen.

What a silly question!

Whose idea had it been?

It's dark, we're out of bed, into our clothes

Forgetting our shoes, our feet froze.

We ran to the beach and just in time.

The horizon marked by a thin silver line.

Your arms strong around me

Your breath warm on my neck

We had the beach to ourselves

But at that hour, it’s what you’d expect.

Whilst we stood in silence

Alone, watching the sight

A new day was born

Pushing away the night.

Just you and me,

The beach and sun.

My crazy plan, a bit of fun

Sunrise- at 5.25am.

Absolutely wonderful Bernadette...I, too, love to greet the morning at the beach....a new day...a new leaf in my book.

The verse is like a casual meandering walk on the beach at 5:25 a.m. of course.

Thank you William. I should try it in winter when the sun rises an hour later - maybe next year.
