Last week Spring teased us with some warm weather... talk about false hope... Winter is trying to make a comeback and snow this weekend! The nerve! So here is a little piece I wrote on my favorite place on Earth...the beach... and hoping it warms up soon so I can go there!
BEACH
There is one place on this planet that is heaven to me. Its waves whisper my name as they lap upon the shore. Like a siren song I am magically drawn to this castle of sand and pounding surf. The shrill song of the seagulls echoes in my mind. I am drenched in the warmth of a radiant sun as miniscule specks of sand seep between my toes. The shore is bedecked in jewels from the sea. A delicately spiraled nautilus, a glistening conch shell and bleach white scallop nestle in the sand, a bounty waiting to be reclaimed by the sea. The salt laden air permeates my body. I inhale the briny bouquet. My breath rises and falls like the ebb and flow of the tide. Closing my eyes, I hear the sweet laughter of children chasing waves. Tranquility envelopes me. I walk for miles, etching footprints as I go. The sea gently erases my path but I always know the way back. I can return here for eternity and dive into happiness.
