As I walk, the sun kisses my face, the sand burns the souls of my feet
Yet gently surrenders
as it moves beneath me. I breathe deeply in and out.
The cool breeze
presses gently against my body as I walk on.
I feel my clothes
mould against me, and my shoes are in hand.
I breathe in its
salty fresh air deeply once more….
As I breathe out I
sense I am home, like I have been here before.
I walk slowly toward
the cool water, discarding my shoes.
I continue to walk, each
step is emancipating, and my worries fade
I slip my dress over
my head; my hair caresses my back as it falls.
Dress discarded, I float towards the water
following its calls
The waves flow
smoothly onto the sand just before my toes.
Stepping forward my
toes tingle with the cool water frothing
I step into the
water, it moves around my ankles- inviting me deeper
Deeper, and deeper, I
feel such divine surrender- surrounding, engrossing, enthralling…..
Oh my sweet water is
so refreshing, replenishing and restoring.
A wave rises and
falls onto my thigh- I gasp as it collides with my warm skin
Beckoning me to
immerse myself, I dive under the next rolling wave
I begin my blissful
floating in this cool, clear and cleansing water
Arms straight in
front, I stretch, I feel the power of the wave wash over me
Tantalized, I arch my
back and look up to the surface, and emerge
I feel the warmth of
the sun on my face, I feel energy surge
I allow myself this
pleasure, I desire it, yearn it over and over,
Again and again….
Until, finally I lay atop of rolling waves,
blissfully exhausted,
ready to feel the sand beneath my feet once more.
