On the beautiful shores of hawaii

On the beach,
Entranced by the glow of the sun.
Breezes sweep the coast,
Air full of laughter and fun.
Sounds of soft waves crashing onto the shore.
Surfers and others loudly pass by,
Heated rays of the sun light up your face.
Sitting by the ocean,
Warm water gently crawls up your leg.
Shades of the sun begin to melt,
Darkness begins to fall on the water.
Children’s voices halt,
Silence covers the beach like a soft quilt as you start to depart.
Leaving behind,
The beautiful shores of Hawaii.
