Ocean Summers

Ocean Summers

The sun shining

the water sparkling 

and reflecting

summer swims 

are my favorite

they always have been.

In flipflops and bikinis

Ice pops in hand.

Racing my cousins to the water.

Then, soaked in salt water

Singing

Screaming

Hamilton lyrics on the top of our lungs

People are staring

Not that we care.

We are jumping up

And down

And laughing.

I smile breathlessly as I wipe hair out of my eyes and smile

My sapphire eyes sparkling.
