A Day On The Ocean's Shore

You look out into the water
The waves make the most beautiful sound.
A place you find peace and comfort,
Walking hand in hand and looking around.
As you walk towards the water,
Sand coats the bottom of your feet.
The smell of the sea salt draws you closer.
The view is so beautiful, oh so sweet.
Almost as if it is calling you.
Sometimes it's only in your mind.
A place to clear your thoughts
And leave everything very far behind.
You find shells, rocks, and other things.
The warmth is like a kiss from up above.
Looking out into the sunset
Can only remind you of true love.
