A languorous late afternoon as we pause
In a life full of troubles for a moment of leisure...
On the Normandy beach we settle, and quietly chatter
Under a distant sun draped with pale gauze
The wooden planks on my back, my head on your thigh,
I close my eyes to hold the fugacious serenity
Which already struggles and strains to escape me,
As thoughts about nothing dissolve in the sky
Dreams as numerous as pebbles in the murmurous light -
You play carelessly with your camera, some are flying a kite,
The ineffable peacefulness, end of the day
I stay awake with the waves cuddled against me,
The wind in my ears blowing a mindless melody
And on my watch the seconds ticking away
