The Beach

I miss the sand between my toes,
The wind lifting up my hair,
The sun pinking my ears and nose.

I miss the smell of fish and chips,
searching for sea-shells ,
the horizon lined with ships.

I miss baking on the shore,
Ducking under waves,
Exploring the sea floor.

I miss hearing seagulls screech,
hearing children squeal,
All in all, I miss the beach
