Breath of the Beach

Feel the breath of the wind

As it whispers across your face

In a gentle caress

Suspending your hair

In a moment of weightlessness

Smell the sweet ocean breeze

Carrying warmth

Salt and sand

In brief

But sudden

Bursts

Taste the salt carried on the wind

From the splash of the ocean spray

Watch as the crash of the waves

Beats against the earth in slow motion

White spray reaching into the air

And falling back into the green-blue

Hear the beat of the waves

Like a constant drum on the sand

Trickling away for a soundless moment

Before returning

Relentless

To thrum once again
