I close my eyes,and see
Crystal blue waters going for miles
The sound of the waves gently washing upon the shore
And gulls calling their mates
In my heart I know this is paradise
And there’s no place I’d rather be
Sitting down on the sand
I bury my toes until they are no longer seen
I take a deep breath
And raise my eyes to the sky
Slowly closing them as I let the sun kiss my face
I begin to stand
I raise my arms up high above my head
And just stretch
I bring them down to my sides
And I feel at peace with life
Leaving the past behind and thinking of the future instead.
