A Moment in DR

A Moment in DR

Christine Manzo Childs


Rain-drenched sand crunches beneath feet

as waves whisper behind, promising a warm hug.

Joy emanates from paired smiles

satisfied with this moment.

A warm wind caresses skin,

lifting hair, rustling skirt hems, tickling sandaled toes with free sand.

Postures frozen for the single click of a camera,

a unique moment between sister-friends captured

to remember ocean freshness, lulling waves, sinking sand.
