Estivate … Sandy

Today’s word is “estivate” … to spend the summer, as at specific place or in certain activity. (Dictionary.com)

Sandy
My dream is to estivate,
Along a sandy beach,
By a Great Lake in Michigan,
But, it is out of reach.

An hour here, a minute there,
Is all there seems to be,
To sit and watch the seagulls,
Beside this inland sea.

A summer long might suffice,
To feel the sun on skin,
The calming water at my feet,
I wish I could begin.
