redleaf beach

The warmth of the sun shining down onto the sand

Clear, still blue water interrupted by the splashing of young children

I lay at the water's edge, sunkissed and tanned 

Jumping in the frigid cool water leaves me cold-bitten

I walk along the sandbank, clutching handfuls of seashells

Picking out each different one here and there 

The crisp salty beach air, one of the most memorable smells 

Little waves crashing down, sending water into the air

As I heave myself up the everlasting stiff stairs, waiting for the top

I suddenly stop when I see the bright and shining icy pole sign

Racing up to the queue, first in the shop

I stand there excited, dripping water whilst standing in the line 

Receiving my ice cream feels like a dream 

I start to head back up towards the long steep stairs

I make it up to the top, huffing and puffing to the extreme

The melting ice cream slowly drips down my hand 

Beneath my feet, the hot rocky concrete is burning away 

Running fast, leaving sand tracks along the way

Clouds start to hover over, dark and grey

Hurrying back, finally home, what a fun day
