There's a time of the day, 
 
When the sun hits the waves.

 And the world seems to shimmer with light.

 Every leaf shines as the breeze intertwines

 In this dance between morning and night.

 Midday is the time when I hide in the shade.

 Protecting my skin from the heat. 
 

 As the sun plays

With the leaves and the waves.

The shadows are a welcome retreat.
