My toes sink into the sand

Like a large stone in water sinking into a state of near nonexistence

The waves hit my feet and clean them

Like liquid spraying from a hose and filling young flowers with life

The wind whips my hair into my face

Like an ocean current growing and knocking a toddler off of her dainty feet

The sky is blue and the ocean is grey

The romance I pursue is right here in the bay

The ocean is home to many a life form

The fish, the dolphins, the otters, and me

As I sit and I pray

for the ocean to sweep me away

Into a place of euphoric oblivion

I am gone.
