Surfers Beach Poem by Nancy Terrell

Mingled between surfers and tourists
are those of us here simply for the beauty
Cloudy skies obscuring the sun, making it soft and pliable
surf further out while waves slap gently upon the rocks
Diamondhead and the Gold Coast
alighted by piercing rays
giving a nimbus affect to the afternoon
Sounds of the sea - distant music in the background - laughs of joking teens, inter-spaced with the Hawaiian Honolulu Star making its dinner fun - you can set your watch by it.
A lazy, wonderful, cool July afternoon.
