Boneyards Beach
By Lucy C
Walking down the mossy mangrove I hear the ocean calling my name
Towel on my shoulder, birds chirping, the beams of sunlight is soft on my skin
We run down to the bay to dive in
Across the sharp shelly ground my toes touch the glistening water
As I dive under the ocean envelops me
As my head breaks the surface
I see the rock faces being swallowed by the plants
I take a breath and dive back in
There's shiny shells all around
They shine like the stars in the night sky
Its magical, majestic, magnificent
Climbing up the rocks I find a place to sit
Laying back taking in the sun, I'm a cold blooded reptile
It's time to go home, my mums call pierces my ear
Walking down the mossy slippery rocks
The sharp shells cut through my feet like knives
The current pulls me to shore
I run out of the water, back over the rocky ground and pick up my towel
Its warm crusty edges heat my cold body
As we walk away I swear I hear the ocean say a sad goodbye
