Saltwater scents carry in the wind

Screams of gulls heard from all about

The smallest creatures go unseen

Fiddler crabs scurry to their holes

Rolling white lines the water edge

Sand mixed with pearled shells and stones

Reeds keeping time to a silent rhythm

Changing colors paint the canvas

Flocks of wings dart across the surface

A ballet of silhouettes endlessly dance above

Dreams are beckoned and set free

Some may say it’s tranquility

…but I say, welcome to my serenity
