the sun beats down. 

we are swimming through the salty sea. you are floating next to me. clear blue skies as far as i can see; away into infinity. 

the sun beats down. 

we are dancing across burning sand. you reach out and take my hand. we laugh and sing as loud as we can; our skin welcomes a glowing tan. 

the sun beats down. 

we are stopping for our smoothie fix. a berry and banana mix. clear straws slip through smiling lips; we sit and watch the summer cliques. 

the light beats down.
