Viewpoint

Windows open . . .

shady groves
of palm trees
picture frame
the sky and sea
and the sparkling
sand draping below.

Clunk . . . clunk . . . clunk . . . 

a small boat
in the shallow
gently bumping
the docking pole
delicately nudged
by flirting waters
approaching shore

and the whistling
swoooooooosh…

of retreating waves-
a long gown
of shimmering blue
with rows of white
beaded lace
departing land.

Sounds so . . .
familiar.
