What Wonders Could Summer Hold?

Summer, lovely summer.

A season that promises sun filled mornings and long, pastel evenings.

And where better to spend summer than at the beach. That wonderful place where the dark blue ocean meets that golden sand that sparkles as you walk along it. Your foot sinking into the sand, as the cool air brushes your hair off to one side. The salt in the air, noticeable from that familiar tightness of your face.

Today the evening came quickly. Carried in on the waves and the wind as they dance all about you. Behind you, the desert stretches out behind the town. Palm trees line the road closest to the beach, and in the distance, you can see the last of those lounging packing away their towels. But the waves are growing as the tide promises its return, and you can see people approaching the beach with surfboard in hand and joy in their stride.

There is something magical in the evening air. Caught between two deadly expanses, you can watch the sun set across the windswept waves as the moon rises between the tumbling dunes. Clouds wander aimlessly across the sky, shepherded by flocks of gulls and pelicans.

Lights start reflecting off the waves as ships turn on their lights and the beam of the Swakop lighthouse flares brightly against their ever-moving geography. Clad, halfway up, in red and white it stood proudly far above the palms and houses. It was a testament to its construction that you could see it from far along the beach.

You watched the ocean turn that dark purple as the sun struggled to stay above the waves. Looking out behind you, the moon had crested the dunes. Its pale face staring longingly at the departing sun. Watching the two celestial bodies as you had so often, you could only wish that those last moments of the summer sun would hang on across the ocean.

“If only the evening could last forever.” A man had walked up next to you, surfboard in hand, “Summer evenings are one of a kind.”

“Everlasting summer sounds like a dream.”

“If only we had that pleasure. Permanent evening would mean all the time in the world to jol.”

You had to admit that it sounded nice. No responsibilities for just a bit longer, as the sun resolved itself to set. Still, you loved the sun filled mornings along the coast.

“Shame, that’s a beautiful sight. Well, I’m off to catch some waves. Totsiens.” With a wave the man started running toward the ocean and proceeded to swim out on his board as the water teemed with others enjoying the last of the daylight. Off in the distance you could see a windsurfer returning to shore.

But it was late and you continued your walk along the beach. Music started playing from up the beach. Deep in the desert some friends lit a fire.

This pastel evening drew, slowly, to a close. The next morning would soon follow on its heels. But tomorrow was still a long ways off. As the deep blue of night covers the sky, far off stars gleam in their fury, you can’t help but think of what comes next. Summer has only just begun, and it has so much to offer. Windswept days on top of dunes. Calm days lounging in the garden under that pale blue sky. And trips down the coast to see flocks of flamingos, numbering the hundreds. Their pink plumage a stark contrast to the white of the catamarans, and the black of the cormorants and seals.

To paint by the sea, read in the desert, and braai the sun away with friends. It is the best time to get away, and enjoy life on the sea side. Maybe even with ice cream on the sweet side.

-- A/N Some words used that are non-standard:

                Jol – to have fun, to party                 Shame – an exclamation that ranges from “I’m sorry [for something that happened to you that I did not cause]” to, “I think that is cute/sweet”                 Totsiens – good bye/ see you later                 Braai - Barbequeue

Thank you @flashfictionfridayofficial​ for a wonderful prompt. I was tempted to horror it up but felt we all deserve some soothing scenery from me for once.
