Lost in deep thought gazing on the waves
The pelicans fly gracefully into the morning sun
It has been too long since my toes touched the sand
The shine from the sun reveals the shape of the shells
I wish I could fly like the pelicans searching for fish
Life must be so sweet for the pelicans

The incoming tide is feeding time for the pelicans
Flying just above the waves
My toes knows how to find sea shells
They embrace the warmth of the sand
Heated by the morning sun
The pelican and I want our bellies full of fish

The pelican’s big beak quickly fills with fish
So much grace and beauty in the pelicans
Swiftly navigating the waves
The waves wash and uncover my treasure of sea shells
The incoming tide is rushing in to cover the shells in the sand
I embrace this moment in the sun

The pelicans race to meet the morning sun
Patiently search for more incoming fish
The schools of fish dart through the rolling waves to stay out of the bellies of the pelicans
More clouds of fish are swarming through the waves
My bag quickly fills with sandy sea shells
My toes dance in the sand

Sinking into the warmth of the sand
My face greets the morning sun
My ears absorb the rolling sounds of the waves
The horizon slowly fills with more hungry pelicans
They are flying for fish while I wish for fish
Searching for shells

My shelves shall be home for my new found shells
Come out from the sand
Show yourselves in the sun
Today you will be my catch instead of fish
Their future is in the bellies of the pelicans
My future is to dive into the waves

Invigoration from the waves and shelves full of sea shells
The orange sun kisses the sand
I now feel like a fish still but too large for the pelicans
