As I walk along the beach

with my feet scorched in sand

the palm tree in the distance called me

I sat down under the tree and watched the

Amberjacks chase down Mullet

ghost crabs walking along the shore

island birds flying over the water

looking for some food

coral cutting through the waves

snorkelers looking for wildlife

fishermen hoping to catch dinner

and families settling in for the night.
