Simply A Smile

She lay in the sun listening to the waves move under her.  The breeze warm and cooling, the smell so fresh.  This was her happy place, so why didn’t she feel happy?    The sound of laughter all around her but none of it hers.  She closed her eyes begging herself to escape into all that was around her.  She pushed herself away from all that was blocking her glow and embraced the moment she was in.  She felt a smile come across her face as she lay in the sun listening to the waves move under her.
