I approach.
It waits then draws me in,
sparkling and splashing a wave or two my way.
I hesitate.
I dip a toe, gasp, then on I go.
Soothed, cooled, caressed 
by a million watery minerals.
I stay.
Afloat and winking at the sun smiling on me.
What is below me? I don’t know.
I just want to enjoy this moment.
I don’t want to leave.
I’d like to take this home with me.
A plop.
A shadow of something disturbs my solitude.
It’s probably some fishy dude.
Then,
I’m being pushed back to shore
by bigger and bigger waves.
On salty sand,
the seawater dries
and I savour the droplets
dancing on my eyes.
