I like this place
even though the sky is perpetually grey
and nothing really happens.
The way time passes slowly
lets me mull my thoughts around.
I splash my feet in the cool, dull water
and let these thoughts
wash back and forth
as freely as the gulls which drift carelessly
through the cloudy sky.
I contemplate all manner of things
as I skim smooth pebbles and create little ripples,
which I count.
I forge many footsteps
across the soft stretch of sand
and when I look back, I imagine
there are two sets of footprints
and make believe that you are walking with me.
