The newly thawed sand was warm
as it squished between our toes.

Numbing water slapped against ours legs
as we ran in an out
unable to bear the cold.

We buried our feet in the sand until
we could feel the tingle of circulation.

Laying on our backs we silently
looked above us at the blue patch
of sky surrounded by trees thinking,
if something this beautiful is possible
anything is.

Rarely do I wish for a picture to accompany the poem. In this case, though, I do --- if only to 'see' whether the image that came to mind mirrors the location that you've described. You've somehow managed to express the beauty without beating us over the head with it. I love that you chose to express the moment/actions instead of just the scenery... there is a sense of excitement and enjoyment that naturally flows though here, making the detail of the place unnecessary. Nicely done!

What a fantastic write! It took me right back to some of the best moments I ever had as a child. Cherish that moment forever as they are sometimes far and few between. Bravo!
