The Last Act

I sit on the balcony, as I have for the last several days, listening the waves crash and eating cereal. I sit here watching the beach lounge chair rental boy arrange the blue cushions and the coordinating umbrellas just perfectly so to reflect the sun...every morning without fail he arrives at 730am to tend to his task (and then sits all day watching over the seldom purchased elevators from the sands and protectors of the sun.)

I gaze out and see our castle of the sand has remained intact. Happy. Happy I am. I watch morning walkers stop to marvel at her beauty and grandeur. So, we will expand today, turning her from castle to cathedral. We will soak the last droplets the Alabama beach sun offers as today marks--time to move on.
