THE SANDS OF LIFE

I am a dreamer on the coast
with my toes
in the sands of life.
The sun beats down
on the drying saltwater on my back
and my back sizzles,
,  like bacon, happily.

Gazing out, the waves reflect the sunlight –
each like a mini horizon
on the way to infinity.
Lazily they drift across the ocean;
saying "this is the way to move
without an aim in the world."

Copyright ©2015 Ashi Shadow - 3/28/16 -- this was a work of pure fiction (not actually sitting around relaxing here!).
Inspired by the song "The Beats" by Marina Orchestra on the way home, after a 12 hour day.
The first stanza was written in my head while driving. 2nd Stanza took longer to write once I got home.
Considered adding even more.
My years in Hawaii did provide the context for the first Stanza.
