“Through the Blazing Beaches”

By Jason Fernandes

The sweltering daylight shining down from the sky.

Umbrellas covering the beaches, Lifeguards on site, people walking down the shore.

Sea creatures living near the coast, protecting themselves by hiding among the rocks.

Fishes gliding through the water, Crabs waiting to strike their prey.

Obtaining food is no easy task.

I pick them with my hands, gripping tightly to their claws so they don't fight back

Each time I shift between them, The sudden shift somehow comforts me.

As the sun sets, The night brings the Arctic.

As the night begins, the waves become more aggressive, ready to face anything in their way.

Glorious beaches with water as clear as day.
