Swirling foam tickles my ankles

Toes wiggle in the archaic sands

Minnows dart, carving symbols in the tidal plane

Rising sun heats my bare back

Gulls sing anthems to the dawn

Waves rise in the distance, announcing the coming change

Rolling waves, closer, building

Fleeing tides ripping sand and shell away

Sand escapes beneath my feet

Impact 

Salt burns membranes

Water cascades away from sprawled limbs

I have been caught unaware, startled by familiar currents

Laughter swells within the sea 

of me

NOTE: If this one seems familiar, it is one I've been working on for a while and have revised...
