Feel wet sand below your feet
Feel the sharp and broken shells
Taste the briny sea water
Hear the wave that breaks and swells

Breathe that sweet notion of summer
Salt water taffy and musk oil
Bodies lined up on the beach
Like fish under the broil

Salty crystals form
On your tongue this phantom sits
Mouth waters in confusion
As the breeze around you lifts

Deep within the memory
Transported to this place
Atlantic sandy beaches
Sunbeams warm across your face

It is a memory of moments
So far back there in the past
Imprinted on your soul
These memories will last
