Bight ... Lap

Today’s word is “bight” ... bend or curve in the shore of sea or river. Dictionary.com)

Lap
Best of memories,
     an early, quiet morning,
The bight runs
     along the big lake forever it seems.
The sand is just beginning to warm.
     cool on the edge of the water.
Little ripples burble as they come
     and go, licking th shallows.
Footprints on the edge fill with
     water and disappear ...
           no trace of passing.
You can walk for miles and
      no person will be seen, only gulls,
           and grass and dunes.
And sky, of course, the beautiful
     blue sky.
