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…
this work is special...
