Poem: All I Want

All I want
is a quiet day
where I can bask in the sunshine
and free from my cares.


The sound of ocean waves
rolling as the tide comes in
seagulls fighting over treats
the laughter of children at play


My notebook and me
recording every sight and sound
sketches in the margins
to jog my memory.


The smell of food
from a nearby cafe
loud music booms
over the boardwalk.


Try my hand
at casting the line
the other fishermen nod at me
and hope for a good catch.


For once in a lifetime
able to put aside my worries
say hello to my creative muse
and set her free.
