An Encounter in the Dunes
A seagull’s cry fades into the distance as it wheels and
dives in its sky dance
A soft breeze rustles through grassy tufts
Rhythmic waves gently lap against the shore
Soft ripples in the sand create a recurring pattern
Broken only by the footprints of an earlier visitor
A wide blue sky meets the whispering grass
Salt lingers in the air and on the tongue
Sun rays warm bare skin
My feet sink pleasantly with each step as if the landscape
is enveloping me
Suddenly, an emerald shines in the sand - except this little
gem has beady eyes!
An inquisitive face emerges, followed by a speckled body and
long tail
He stops and thirstily drinks up the sun
My mood instantly lifts
I’m so happy this living jewel became a part of my day
