Sun and the Sea

I take a breath of the humid air

The smell of sea is everywhere

I run like an excited lil girl

To see nature's wonder unfurl

There looms up the mighty sea

Never failing to mesmerize me

Vast and blue in constant motion

Infinitely infinite is the giant ocean 

I sink my feet into the warm sands

Stretch outwards both my hands

The gentle breeze plays with my hair

If only I had wings I would fly in the air 

The orange hue of the setting sun

A wonderful sight across the horizon

Slowly the sun ducks into the water

And then daylight begins to falter

I lay on the beach looking up at the sky

Reflecting on life with the moon up high

A wave of nostalgia hits the mind

The timeline of life rushes on rewind

The crashing waves against the shore

A few just whisper while others roar

I count the stars in the night sky

And fall asleep as time flies by

I wake up to a brighter dawn

Rubbing my eyes as I yawn

Fishermen in their boats have set sail

The chirping birds off on a new trail

Steadily rises the sun as a glowing ball

From amidst the mountains standing tall

I bask in the rays of the rising sun

That sets the nightly shadows on a run

I soak up all the showering warmth

And feel a new wave of self worth

I kill my inner demons that torment 

And hug myself to live the moment

Brighter shines the new day

A sign for me to go away 

Into the worldly chaos I fade

Goodbye to nature's peace I bade

A few answers found questions remain

Peace with myself I have regained

Found strength to overcome my fears

And welcome life with a smiling cheer

I drag my feet towards my city shack

Longing for the day I can come back

To bathe in the sun and lie on the sand

Splash in the water and get tanned
