I’m laying on the beach, what do I see
An exquisite ocean, right in front of me
I hear the waves, colliding with the shore
I can’t get enough of it, it makes me want more.
I smell the beautiful aromas, of the deep blue sea
The saltiness in the air, just my cup of tea.
As I get in the sea, all I can taste,
Is the salt water all over my face.
As I get out of the water, I feel sand crawl down my back,
One thing about this place, beauty it does not lack.
The tiniest crab appeared from the sea,
He looked like an ant, compared to me.
I began to wonder, why these creatures are so small
They’re glorious and elegant, but no where near tall
It still lies a mystery, well at least to me
This place is irresistible as you can see!
