#1
Beach
cobalt sky
green-blue water
surf beating a
tan grey shore
of shell mosaics
salt smell
peace

#2
fat women, skinny men with
red chests
fat men and women with
high protruding bellies
stagger in deep dry sand
carrying umbrellas, chairs and coolers

occasionally
the slim bikinied young pass by
in their perfection
and children
mindful only of fun
build castles in wet sand and
frolic near pounding surf

people of all sizes
pedal bikes
chasing health
in their weekend recess
the dolphins pass by
unnoticed.

sunset extravaganza
red pink orange magenta lavender
against graying cobalt blue
our world is full of sacred beauty
why do so many not see?
