A Day on the Beach

I stand on the shore,

Feet sinking slowly into the golden sand

The damp grains pool between my toes,

Keeping them cool as harsh sunlight

Pours down like a rainstorm

The scent of salt, crisp and clear,

Lingers in the air,

Carried on a gentle breeze

I move closer, feeling water spray

Softly against my drying skin

The ocean is serene,

Waves merely tickling the sand,

Meeting in a kind embrace

As I look around,

Taking everything in,

Every scent, every sight, every emotion,

I can't help but think,

There's no where I'd rather be

Than surrounded by this seaside beauty
