The Beach

In the dunes of peach-tinted sand,
Near the sleek glass ocean plate,
I sat and bore a thousand holes,
Each with enough room to lay.

On that still evening swelt,
I decided I might get away,
From the duties that crowd the week,
And hide myself away,
In the crest of the beach.

I picked an indention,
Large enough to lay,
And filled it with sand
To relax life away.

Cover me, sandy grit,
And cocoon me tidal cover.
I should only venture out again
At the pleading call of another.
