Dreaming
The sand was warm
like sugar and salt
a sweet sea breeze
waves galloping in
like a frisky young colt
What an emotion
a feeling of love
to see the sand castle
with moat and banners
and clouds above
Running wild like the wind
across squeaking sand
when the sound of trumpeting
from somewhere around
was heard like a band
Brightly coloured bandmaster
marching along the waves
followed by ninety nine elephants
all trunk to tale
trumpeting aways
With monkeys on top
clashing cymbals
a huge flock of seagulls
cawing in the air
spreading scandals
We jumped in the air
filled with joy at the sight
and fell on our bums
to watch them go by
as the sun set into night
Stars swirled above
where the Moon sings
where water sparkled
like glittering fireworks
like love that stings
All in a dream
all in a haze
all timeless
all afloat
in a daze
The sand was warm
like sugar and salt
a sweet sea breeze
waves galloping in
like a frisky young colt
What an emotion
a feeling of love
to see the sand castle
with moat and banners
and clouds above
Running wild like the wind
across squeaking sand
when the sound of trumpeting
from somewhere around
was heard like a band
Brightly coloured bandmaster
marching along the waves
followed by ninety nine elephants
all trunk to tale
trumpeting aways
With monkeys on top
clashing cymbals
a huge flock of seagulls
cawing in the air
spreading scandals
We jumped in the air
filled with joy at the sight
and fell on our bums
to watch them go by
as the sun set into night
Stars swirled above
where the Moon sings
where water sparkled
like glittering fireworks
like love that stings
All in a dream
all in a haze
all timeless
all afloat
in a daze

NOTE ~ Memories of the beach, of happiness in dreams, of running wild in the wind, of frolicking in the waves, of making sandcastles in squeaky sand that talked where you walked.
