wind full of sea salt surrounding
us walking the boardwalk
wooden planks reminiscent of
yesteryears gone by
but are they really
gone
footsteps lightly falling next
to us, fashions changing
from one piece bathing
suits to ones…barely
while ocean sands remain holding
sunbathers catching rays or
covered beneath large
umbrellas while
children now as then create
sand castles and some
belly surf while others
ride surfboards not
heard of then
we walk on amidst the chatter
of others the breeze
bringing to our ears a
cacophony of thunderous
ocean waves and
laughter
all this caught in a panoramic
moment in time the hourglass
sands swift bringing
from yesteryears gone by
but are they really
gone
