this is what summer is for

I haven't ridden beach-waves in ages.


watched the curl
waiting for the right moment
diving forward, caught up
propelled
the foam and swirl
and tug of water
churning beneath
bare skin and
bathing suit







scraping knees on sandy bottom
water up the nose
and in the eyes
and hair tangled beyond
recognition


and Blue
so much lovely, deep Blue



Blue was the sky
and the water
and in the eyes and mind and heart
and right where
lake touches sky
stretching across the
horizon
was a perfect
dark
deep
band of my most
favourite shade of my
most favourite colour
(sadly, I didn't think to take a picture of it)

some things are better left alone
unphotographed
memory works better


this
is really the purpose
of summer.
days like these.

don't you think?
