Oceanside

 
 
To be of mist and vapor
'tis the breadth
of bluest splendour  
spanning wave
after constant wave
that poignant crush
against heated skin  
 
salty cool sprays  
where seawater meets shore
splashes of memory  
imbued in sandy nostalgia
a mind's perfection
in found treasure
collected in seashell'd souvenirs  
and crystallized reminders
of joyous laughter
mixed with crooning gulls  
while sunshine's rays  
perfuse to colour
causing a glow—
tanned to crimson  
highlighting moods and hearts
 
O' those shore swept breezes
 
soothed aches to abate  
each and every breath
from cleansed lungs,  
a life's resuscitation
by hint of ocean magic
washing ashore
such a buoyant reckoning  
 
 
 
among this water's razored edge.

Summertime in the late 80' is synonymous with the Cure and Jane's Addiction in my mind...
