Morning Dip

Cold water is no problem
once you get used to it,
especially as sun warms
despite the breeze

Eventually full submersion
is well worth it
for the layers and layers of sparkle —
clear water, sun reflection, skin tingles,
wind drying, shadow dancing,
sand shifting softly under feet
and freshness that endures throughout the day.
