Before I leave  …

… I stop …

… at the beach …

… where every morning …

… they rake the sand …

… for the day to begin.

Then …

… the shops …

… open …

… and the regulars …

… take …

… their places.

There are …

… people …

… in motion …

… and the promenade …

… is ready …

… for business.

I go for one more walk on the beach …

… before I leave.
