Sun on My Skin

by Milos Klaric

The sun burns my skin, Beaming down on me like a warm beam of golden light. The ocean crashes in the distance. Seagulls call overhead, Circling, Searching for their next meal. Will they take mine? The salty ocean breeze fills my nose, Relaxing me. Why can’t summer last forever? Sand in my toes. Sunkissed, I laugh and watch as people Get caught in the waves, rolling and giggling. Why can’t summer last forever? The cold will come soon, The summer sky will turn gray. The sand will be covered in a layer of snow. No, summer can’t last forever . . . But when the gray skies are pushed away, the sun will rise again And I will enjoy summer once more. 59
