Two Sets of Footprints
by Michael and Colleen our Spring Beach Walk
MK spring sunrise
soft curl of cloud
cushions a mild sun 
CK morning song
tracks and swash
pattern the sand
MK velvet canvas of ocean
sparkle of 
sunlight
kindles welcome
CK spring
our shared walk
follows familiar ways
MK crisp horizon
we watch and wait
new day
CK dolphin dreaming 
presence of whales and dolphins
just beyond our gaze
MK season of enthusiasm
coastal world bustles
kites fly
CK a beachcomber
delights in treasure
gifted by high tide 
MK at the edge
on wet sand
seaweed glints
CK spring swimming
two women rugged up
take the plunge 
MK paddle boarders
muscles in balance
expands our vision
CK surf club air vent
two baby swallows
chirping
MK swallows skate the air
good-time harbingers
tease us 
CK a ‘heart’ on my coffee
soaring swallows
flirt over seaweed
MK spring air
the hairs on our arms
tingle
CK sipping coffee 
our illusive heron
glides onto the lamp post
MK winter is over
sun races south
my energy surges
CK morning sun 
silhouettes
beach yoga
MK new buds
a sheen of colour
defies the breeze
CK red geranium
trails down sandstone
beach restoration 
MK rock fishing
enough for all
pelican waits
CK stabilised sand dunes
butterflies and bees
delight
MK mid morning
clouds corral
warmth seeps in 
CK spring
our hearts
blossom with colour
