“From the busy streets, towards the calm beach, that is the goal in life” Gun Roswell
I see the image in my very mind, it’s something unique, someplace to unwind The colours changing now, from green to a coolest blue, some kind of hue But then, like a sharpened photograph, everything is in my grasp. The shining sun, rising high above, the breeze so low, the pace so slow The turquoise waters glimmering, I wish I could swim in them
I run as fast as I can, then on to the sandy beach I land At this point I don’t care if it is a dream or someone’s bad joke or scheme I shed my clothing, boots and all, and into to the soft waves I let myself fall Getting carried away to the wide open seas, where nothing and no one else do I see Only sounds made are those of seagulls, flying high above my skull
This is bliss, this is calm, this is what I seek, this is what I want And then, I wake up, as the car beside me honks
“Move it of lose it bozo!” I hear
Yes, I am back in the noisy street I fear Until next time, when I dare to dream As life never really is what it seems
“The traveller never gets sick of looking at the vistas of foreign lands, I definitely don’t and looking back at all the pictures taken, I revisit all those places“ Gun Roswell
The days of sunny and warm Spent around the old ruins just after dawn Much to see and plenty to do Especially as the day is getting hotter after noon
But for the enthusiastic traveller There is really nothing to complain rather Enjoying the new vistas and the history Of this place with plenty of stories
And, if you are planning to stay awake Until the late of the event filled day Make sure to make your way to the beach Or basically any open area seat
As the spectacle of the evening Is at that time about to begin The sun setting over the open waters There is really nothing to compare!
So keep on travelling, to strange new places If only in your mind or in a virtual space There is nothing more eye opening When out of your comfort zone staying
“The beach, is empty? What is going on?” Gun Roswell
Finding an empty sun bed On this tine beach end Did not seem so difficult today What a pleasant surprise, I said As I hauled my weary ass Off from the green grass
Into the middle of the sandy beach Choosing the best seat Laying my fat tired head On to the sunny side bed Finally enjoying the peace and quiet As long as anyone will me let
“There are lots of dive bars all around for a quick drink, but the there are those places you can spend several hours in, having a good time, with food and fine wine” Gun Roswell
A short stroll in the heat of summer Looking for a place to recover Taverns and restaurants beckoning A cold drink for thirst lessening
“Nature can be most gorgeous, or dangerous, but more so, gorgeous” Gun Roswell
Sitting on a swing Not worrying about a thing Enjoying the simple life Without a stinger or a strife The air almost like silk Time slowly passing by Not one trouble in sight
Observing, watching, looking What is nearby cooking
The hedgehog sipping it’s milk The squirrel with it’s tail high A bird gliding in mid flight The flowers in the wind crooking
The clouds hanging softly in the sky Exhaling, letting out a sigh The last rays of sun on the skin What a perfect fin For a July summer’s day The grass in a gentle sway
“A calm, cloudy, and rather sunny Sunday (surprise!) what a contradiction indeed! As usually, when Sunday arrives, so does the cold weather and the rain, right?!” Gun Roswell
When the Sunday time, loudly, its present chimed We ran, like we were on fire, out there, from the dire Into the open wild nature, with colours so lush There really was no need for any kind of rush To enjoy the art work devised by our beloved Mother Nature Was there for everyone to see, without any kind of fee
But we ran, as fast as any one can, really For you see, there was somewhere else we wanted to be, really Beside the calm and cooling waters, fooling around like a bunch of sea otters We made our way, discarding all clothing, falling where ever they may Splashing into the soft waves, letting the healing waters save Ourselves in the process, as this was the place for us, the total bliss
We played and frolicked, until the darkness descended we stayed Then only, reaching for the softest of sands, lending each other a hand To find the discarded garments, a little dirty, maybe even sandy, was a mild statement But nobody cared, as it had all been time so well spent Out here, on the beach, on this summer’s Sunday we had reached And if we were to be lucky, maybe next weekend, we could come back again
The tiny wooden made shack, by the seashore stands, sideways slacked It’s really not much to look at, just a few odd planks together stacked But for the one that built it, this little house, might just be, the perfect fit A summer’s cottage, or a simple, almost a tent type thing, on the beach sits
Alas, the rough and unforgiving autumn winds soon will fall Upon each and every single plane, even up, to this remote shore If the tiny summer cottage will the beating of weather’s wrath survive Then come next spring, the dweller will have a place to return just fine
But, until that time, the sun will still shine The clear blue waters and even the skies Will be totally able to provide The needed light and warmth to get by Here in the tiny beach house, oh so divine
