How Many Grains Of Sand Are There On The Beach? Poem by RIC BASTASA

we are on the beach
it is a very bright and warm day
the coconut leaves are cooling us
the shade is comforting
the sands so white
the sea is crystal blue
the sea gulls are singing
colored fishes come up from time to time
hiding in the corals

if you want to know how many grains of white sands
are there on this beach
begin the count

for the meantime
we are taking our much needed plunge

we leave you for a while
enjoy yourself.
