All around us
Every day
Every moment....
Can you feel it?
Can you see it,
Taste it,
Smell it?
This world
So sensual.
So beautiful.
Even the minute details of minute things.
I close my eyes
Rest my head back...
I feel the wind caress my body
The scent of the ocean fills my nostrils.
I can hear children squealing with laughter,
Boats motor past.
Reminiscent of childhood summers lazing at the beach
with not a care in the world.
I have cares now
And worries
But I also have children.
And I will always have the beach.
I keep coming back
Just as the waves
Keep coming back to shore.
I come back with the next generation
Helping to build their memory bank,
Fill their souls
with sounds and smells that they will carry with them
Forever.
