I wrote this a year ago; the weather last Friday brought it to mind.
JANUARY SWIM
Such sun-full joy was mine today,
Skinning those westerly-driven surges of surf
In that winterlow light so lemonsilver sharp!
Afterwards, as I outstrode the sea
Giantly shadowing the tan-dark sand,
Gratitude to Nature glowed within, untellably bright.
