THE sand has been freshly ploughed
Some wit has written “vote Jedi” in the sand
On this quiet election Thursday morn.
The beach huts show a rainbow of hues
And excited children play on the beach
In fancy dress from a soldier to a princess
Then I purchase a coffee from Bay 5
Knowing spring has finally come alive.
An elderly couple reside on a bench
Patting their beloved Labrador
And people the size of ants
Stroll on the low cliff of Nell’s Point
Reminding me how insignificant we are.
A toddler and mother paddle in the sea
Which sparkles under a welcome blue sky
With white feather clouds slowly passing by.
The Somerset hills are covered
By a thin sea mist, the ocean
Snores softly under May sunshine
Lethargic waves lapping the shore
And winter storms now lost in time.
I prefer it here without the crowds
With more people than seagulls in the sea
Enjoying the view, sun relaxing me.
