Let's take the steps
down to Sunshine Beach
before the day has really begun
before breakfast
before the beach lovers arrive
before the heat builds
before the usual routine begins
while we are new and fresh
the day is young
and life begins again
Let's stroll in the relative cool
of 24C at 5.30am
a dawn Icarus
rises high
across the path of sunbeams
a loyal pup
awaits his swimming owners
the clouds cluster and swell
as they experiment with shape
using the blue of blue as their canvas
and the wet sand
as their mirror
and the wet sand
as their mirror
and the sea rolls glass green
Oh happy day...
