the birds

The little birds run
in and out of the breaking water
long pointed beaks
poking in and out
of the sand
finding breakfast.
Occasionally
one stays
a little longer and
catches a wave
shimmying after
a bird bath

Other birds hover
over the water
watching
then dive in
emerging with a little fish
in their beaks

Pelicans skim along
and land in the water
sitting and floating

Herons stand and watch
one leg tucked in

All saying good morning
no expectations
living in the present moment.
