Ocean

I watch the sun peeking over the horizon.
My feet burn from the hot sand.
I walk down to the water, the sand squeaking beneath my feet.
I feel the touch of the water, coming to meet me, like a long lost friend.
I make my way up the beach, basking in the beauty of God’s creation.
I run into the water, the temperature sending chills up my spine.
I float in the ocean, just enjoying the moment.
