A Day in August ~ Dolphins

Ocean waters hug at my feet and legs, 
pull me into the ocean.
The waves tease–
as I edge away, I tease back, hair flowing wild with the wind. 
I stand there looking out at the vast ocean, 
lost in my thoughts that are blank and serene.
The waves crash upon the shore, run like white horses. 
I continue walking along, 
feeling my feet with each step, secured in the wet sand. 
And then, something catches my vision, out of the corner of my eye. 
A fin. Two fins. Then three!
Then I see clearly, not too far from the shore, 
a group of dolphins swimming along with the waves, 
being playful with each other. I can't take my eyes from them, 
and I think this is the first time they've been so close. 
All the other beach goers close in, cameras in hand. 
We all watch in awe as the dolphins swim on by.
