Beach scene

Over the rolling sand dunes lives a quiet and peaceful soul.
A body of calmness and tranquility determined to reach its goal.

The seagull is its friend, the fisherman; its foe,
The wind its inspiration to go and go and go.

~We’d better hurry. Come on, let’s go. ~The desperate waves are crying.
~We must get to the sandbar for a creature there is dying.~

~I’ve got it!~ screams a baby wave with the struggler in its reach.
But they were too late; the fish had died, stranded on the beach.
