Tourists flocked to Dawlish Warren
attracted by cafes and amusement arcades
yet we headed for quieter pastures
where few ventured, strolling along
a sandy path, opening wooden gates
next to sand dunes with the tide sweeping in.
The sea enticed us on this warm June day
as the sun broke through the clouds painted grey
creating stars in the turquoise ocean.
But as we began swimming
our screams could be heard in Exeter
with the shock of the perishing water.
Yet every second of the pain felt worthwhile
viewing your face so invigorated,
all our problems dissolved in the sea,
just for a while...our minds were set free.
