My flips-flops squelch in the soft sand. Tiny grains, incongruously scratchy, between my toes. I scan the beach, finding a place to settle in with my book. The heavens above me, a perfect hue, blend with the azure of the ocean. Warm, gold sunshine, cleanses away the stresses of the working week and soon, I am lost – deep in the pages of my paperback. A sudden rush of movement, catches my eye. I look up, but am too late to evade that rogue wave!
don’t get too cosy
keep one eye out on the sea
waves like to roam free

Love this! Whenever I am at the beach I say to myself, “This is my happy place.”

I love, love, love the beach…as long as it’s warm. So when the rogue wave comes along, I’m ok with it!

I know that feeling of sand between the toes… and of getting lost in a good book too.
Sudden waves or any other changes can be a bit of a shock 🙂
Nice haibun.
