“The summer is the best time to get to the beach and enjoy the sunshine with the calming waves, nature and all that!” Gun Roswell
I still remember That one September The bluest of skies And it was warmer than July The water clear and inviting The air soft and delighting Not a worry in sight Everything quite right In the distance For an instance A boat or two Disappearing from the view Most tourists already gone Leaving us alone Enjoying in peace With a short lease The last rays of summer
“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
“There is something about the early morning mist on the waters edge, eerie, but pretty” Gun Roswell
Muggy Waters
Greeted by a view in monochrome A foggy visual in complete monotone Water’s surface windblown Someone give me a phone! This image needs to be known Or my fame will be with the winds gone
“Life in black and white like in the olden days, so simple and neat, am I right!?” Gun Roswell
Life at sea in Monochrome
I am neither black or white I am just a grey delight Maybe not so much fun Being only a colour of one That of a monotone But not a clone Or then I am, whatever But, You may call me, Monochrome
Close enough to the seashore As I try to some mountains score That is simply, because I really want a picture perfect to adore
So now, here I am, browsing The sea line slowly drowsing Hoping for that best of scenes In my view point to achieve
Maybe not today, maybe not to tomorrow But I know that even if I have to borrow An image from some other land I will get my mountain view as here I stand (or sail)
“The ocean beckons to be explored, but today, I feel like such a bore, and simply want to rest for a while longer, on top of the calming waves” Gun Roswell
It’s oh so very quiet and calm!
The calming of the waves, as soon as I my head will lay, on top of the smoothing surface at any, body gently floating, as it is coping, with this overly gentle place, searching for a state of mind, which out there is really hard to find, the peace, the quiet, the calm, but here it is all so clear, when lulled to sleep, on these calming waves, as even after all the fight of the day, this is where I finally want to stay, on top of the soft material, even if not a bed of any kind, I need my rest and so, this state is the one not to debate, whether or not, and so, with eyes closed tightly, I concentrate, still floating above the edge, the mind at rest, thoughts all gone, no sounds or images to explore, only the calm and quiet surrounding, this unruly mind and body, without counting the passing time, and that is all simply fine.
“Take a load off, head to the beach, see what’s there for free!” Gun Roswell
Surfers on the Dunes
Surfer dudes With attitudes “No landlubbers allowed There is no monkeying around! This is serious business With a touch of impulsiveness! If you want to join Let me just flip this coin: Heads or tails You know, this never fails: You are in!”
“The blue moment arrived, and as I looked out my window, I finally smiled” Gun Roswell
Blue moment on the waters edge
The daily grind, had finally ended It was at that time, I stopped pretending No more worries, no more work At least not until, tomorrow’s birth
The sun had gone, after shining for far too long And the others, the stars and the moon, not yet born Only this, peaceful calm and cool moment remained As all of us, in this time and space, existed the same
The blue had now descended, for us mere mortals lended A place to rejoice and shed all else, our souls to be mended Alas not long lasting is this, only a fraction of total bliss Soon enough the clock starts ticking, the time again beginning
But for a moment there I felt the burning flares Of the total blueness Where I, myself, do exist
“The colours are so cool, but then out of the blue, yellow strikes, yikes?” Gun Roswell
Blue, Green and Yellow
When the breeze hits the lower cools And most colours, start turning in to blue And then, you may just, detect A hint, of that wilder green effect All surroundings, soon, in a monochromatic state Calming, soothing, but maybe, even just a tad boring Then, out of nowhere, a splash of something fresh When a blotch, then another, suddenly, you detect It’s of the brightening sun’s effect That glorious yellow, a simple add-on But never, quite something, you soon will forget
