I dream of being
Free to soar, to dip, to glide
Creative at Peace.
Tonight I transform
To Ulysses butterfly
Brightly, lightly dance.
By Pamela Galeano
Salty breeze
Teasing my hair as I run
Warm sand
Tickling my toes
Licks of smooth ice cream
Trickling off the cone
Potatoes roasting slowly
Among glowing coals.
Delicate shell colours
Brilliant sky colours
Intricate water patterns
Grooved in sand.
Raised round crab patterns
Scattered on top
Bits of driftwood
Wave-sculpted.
Seabirds calling
Seabirds crying
Splash waves
Crash waves
She-oaks singing
Wind songs
Moody beach
Music.
By Pamela Galeano
Lapping, playing, slapping
Cheerful
Sighing, crying, howling
Mournful
Gentle sleepy lulling,
Restful
Rolling, thundering, crashing
Awesome
Superficial moods
Always beautiful
Always bountiful
Forever dangerous
Eternally alien.
By Pamela Galeano
