BAY BEACHES

I see cerulean waves rolling – 

inching closer towards me.

I squint the sun’s glare reflected –

my shimmering eyes see glimmers and glints.

I hear symphonies of beach days –

laughs harmonize with the waves that roar

I hear my heartbeat pounding –

Trying to escape me.

I taste the sea breeze –

It’s seasoned with far too much salt

I feel my worries trailing behind me –

I run.

The bay washes over my feet –

I feel at peace.
