Boogie Boarding Between Sunrise and Sunset

Stacey Doyle

Distant sounds of music blare

I suck in a belt of salty air.

Heartbeat throbs anticipation

Thrill seeking days of summer vacation.

Waves pound shore past warning signs

A perfect time for a surfer's ride.

Action between sunrise and sunset

Powerful moments you'll never forget.

Grab our boogie boards underarm

Rip tides are fine, don't be alarmed.

Lick my lips of salty spray

What better way to end the day?

Wrap the strap around my wrist

Head to toe, I'm saltwater kissed.

Fearlessly charge toward the waves

Turning our backs, twist of fate.

Belly to board, a fast-paced ride

Scary, exhilarating, harness the tide.

Land on the surf, face in the sand

Let's get up and do it again!
