A fish swims by,
purple with orange dots.
I wave. Hello!
He flaps his fins and speeds on.
Rays of sun through the water
lead me down, down, down.
To watch a starfish attach itself to a rock,
resting from the hard work of sand walking.
I, too, rest nearby,
shimmering tail curled neatly.
A breath.
Then another.
Until the next fish swims by,
yellow this time, with curious black rimmed eyes.
I follow up, through the next ray of sunshine,
breaking the surface on another day of freedom.
