Vacation Day

Beach Sand 
Maybe it is the memories 
the change of pace that brings us there 
the sense of vacation 
maybe the smell of the place 
the sights of the gulls, the dunes, the grasses 
but oh it is the feel of it,
 the crunch and slide of it 
the feeling of beach sand 
so different from dirt, soil, loam 
no, not earthy, moist, rich, 
but oh so granular and gritty 
even when wet, 
moveable paper spreading under toes 
sliding beneath the soles 
smoothing my skin 
clearing my mind 
unburdening me of the rest 
drawing me to the tactile, 
the feel of beach sand

I have always loved the calm of water or large expanse of open space. Nice read for the morning. Hope your new journey started well in Montreal.
