Shame on Busy

I love the beach
My beach,
My very shared beach
I haven’t seen it,
In over a week
Horrors!

This is unacceptable;
I get so much from that place
Treasures on the shore
Mesmerizing rocks,
Comely shells,
Fascinating driftwood
–I believe most people,
Spend half of their beach time looking down

But I’ve been busy,
So, so “busy”
Cleaning, pruning, more cleaning
No rock hounding,
No sunset gazing,
No, beaching

And while I feel better,
With a clean home and garden
When I die,
Will they say,
“What a shame…
She was so busy”

Shame on me,
Shame –on —busy
