The prompt for today was Instant Sorrow. Had to work to get this one… day fourteen!

 

Instant Sorrow

I feel an instant sorrow

We’re leaving the beach tomorrow

Fiesta with friends for the last few days

Spent our time out in the ocean’s waves

Sunblock, mimosas and crab claws

Umbrellas, shades and cute sandals

A beach to ourselves, beauty unbidden

We danced under the moonlight, like carefree children

Feet deep in the sand, beach chairs sunk low

No sign of spurs, jelly fish, tourists or local Joe

Dined on fruits, fish, crab and wine, everything tasting divine

 Days spent taking in the beauty from my toes to the horizon line

We pack our things, pick out our last cute dress, preparing to go

One laat night, walking the shore, watching the little worms all aglow

Beauty in nature, beauties walking with nature, leaving tomorrow

Sad faces head north, leaving the waves, sand and sun. Instant sorrow
