Sunlight shimmers in the trees
Bouncing off the underside of leaves
Reflected there by gentle waves
From the sun across the bay.
A sturdy log reaches across the beach
Barnacles where the sun and sea may
reach
Its roots merged with the bank
In the shelter of the forest.
The sun shines bright on beach and
waves
Seagulls squabble, avian knaves
Seen beyond a leafy bower
Where the open eyes can rest.
From sylvan shadow and canopy
Cheery light on shore and sea
Lights the heart with a warm glow
Without harsh glare or heat.
Water rings in forest frame
Where fish to the sunlight came
Stripes of color ripple away
Fading on a quiet day.
