Footsteps

White foam lays
on cool blue water
Footsteps in the sand
disappear
Wave crash onto the shore
clouds threaten this perfect day

Childrens' laughter
fill the air

I take a step
sand between my toes
Fresh air
in my lungs
Waves come close to my feet
no close enough

I wade into
freezing water
I shiver
The sun beats against my shoulders
I take a deep breath
and dive
