At the beach...



Still remember that day at the beach

Frolicking while fun and laughter we did teach

To the seas all around, the tress and the sands…

Now those times slip right through my hands


Still hear the spring trees billowing

As I run fast behind you following

They watched sniggering, those sly trees

While we learnt that sand can skin knees


Towering sand castles built on dreams

To save a princess from her step mom’s schemes

Tempted her with tales of freedom

Just to drive away our own boredom…


Etched our names on seaside shores

Hoping the waves would wash off the floors

And a part us could ride those waves

To deep treasure laden sea caves…!


I reminisce that walk holding your hand

Two girls dancing where water met sand

Relive the surprise in finding a starfish

As to who would keep it…I was indeed selfish!


Silently listened to songs of shells

On their echoes, we did tales tell…

They sang a lonely mermaid’s story

And of their land’s forlorn glory


And as night fell and the moon did mount

Many a constellation we did count

Still we lay in eager anticipation

Of a day at the beach every vacation…
