A Book and Its Cover

A cloudless sky and an azure sea.

Like a child, I kick my feet through shallow water and then make my way over sun-warmed pebbles to sit in the shade and enjoy the faintest of breezes.

I pull a small, slim book from my pocket. It is old and tattered but a good companion. I do judge this book by its cover as it always makes me smile the way you do when you remember a good time spent with a lover or friend and, inadvertently, I look up as if expecting you to come walking and smiling along the beach towards me.
