Sailing into Summer

Today, was my very first 

swim of the season.
Cowardly creeping
into a cool, blue oasis;
slowly 'sailing' into summer

My husband and I drove fifteen minutes north,

to a tiny cove called Little Marina.

It's quieter, and less crowded 

than the vast, infinite shores

that the younger generation

seems to favour.

Cuddled by fragrant pines 

and skinny cypress trees,

I particularly like the cove

for its rough and rocky boulders,

that crookedly line

both the coast

and the countryside,
in the sky above.

Braving a prickly carpet 

of pebbles
is the only pathway

to a complete catharsis 
of invigorating rejuvenation.

Thanks for visiting!
