Beach

The closer I get to the beach, the more I can smell the salty water that fills the air.
Already I can hear the soothing sounds of the waves, collapsing against the beach.
As I walk along the shores I feel the sand filling the gaps between my toes.
I can taste the saltiness of the water that splashes into my mouth,
While the cool breeze of the ocean makes me feel so calm and peaceful.
As the day comes to a close, the sun sets on the horizon where the sea seems to end.
