terrific tybee island
The water rises close to my feet and then quickly retreats.
The frigid air saturates my body from head to toe.
The fragments of sea shells decorate the sand.
I pick a few up and observe them in my hand.
Thin rays of sunlight are peeking through the clouds.
They target my body seeking warm me up.
It lasts for a beloved moment but is replaced for a beloved moment but is replaced by a piercing blast of cold air.
Crashing violently, the waves beat up on the sand.
Talking quietly, groups of friends inspect the sand, meticulously looking for a prehistoric shark tooth.
Their own teeth chatter as they are struck by another blast of freezing wind.
I wonder where that shark tooth is. What did this wonderful beach look like before all this erosion? I wonder why anyone would leave anything but there footprints on this stretch of land.
The wonderful view relaxes me.
But then the surge of adventure shoots through me.
I feverishly search for the shiny black tooth.
