A walk down Edisto Beach
A slow motion Edisto stride
Noted for unspoiled beauty
Featured were shells a plenty
Waves glistening sunlight ripples
And mysterious large prints
That followed us upon our sandy trek
A clear azure blue sky and spring temps
Presented tide advancing
That spread the prints
As if each step was magnified in size
We wondered what creature made them
Big prints deep with weight
In the soft wet sand
Foot prints along side
The mystery soon to be erased
By the tides timely progress
As it alters daily the beach landscape
When along comes an energetic
Golden yellow mixed breed retriever
With her dark haired female companion
She was large and athletic with paws
That matched the beach imprints
A pink collar and friendly face
That asked for an ear scratch
A muzzle caress amid a smiling master’s
Permission to befriend Maggie
Satisfied, Maggie’s paws continued
With more joyful imprints
On a beautiful pre spring day
This is Edisto or Edislow where nothing
Happens quickly in a soothing Ocean
Flow, caressing winds gentle sky
That is the point, slow down
Enjoy what nature gives
The rest can be solved later

Maggie’s Paws
We walked a familiar beachA slow motion Edisto stride
Noted for unspoiled beauty
Featured were shells a plenty
Waves glistening sunlight ripples
And mysterious large prints
That followed us upon our sandy trek
A clear azure blue sky and spring temps
Presented tide advancing
That spread the prints
As if each step was magnified in size
We wondered what creature made them
Big prints deep with weight
In the soft wet sand
Foot prints along side
The mystery soon to be erased
By the tides timely progress
As it alters daily the beach landscape
When along comes an energetic
Golden yellow mixed breed retriever
With her dark haired female companion
She was large and athletic with paws
That matched the beach imprints
A pink collar and friendly face
That asked for an ear scratch
A muzzle caress amid a smiling master’s
Permission to befriend Maggie
Satisfied, Maggie’s paws continued
With more joyful imprints
On a beautiful pre spring day
This is Edisto or Edislow where nothing
Happens quickly in a soothing Ocean
Flow, caressing winds gentle sky
That is the point, slow down
