Ocean Withdrawals

I miss the ocean.
The wind that touches my face is like a crisp gentle hand massaging me.
Off into the distance glorious wave’s crash.
No wave is the same, and there all magnificent.
I can hear them now crashing into the rich yellow sand.
The moon on the water is like a beacon of light that aluminates the soul.
The smell of the salty air as you approach the beach.
I miss the sunsets that disappear into the horizon.
The sun is a glorious red, like a giant apple as it kisses the water and trades places with the moon.
The coastline is beautiful and it’s like a calendar of the years that have past.
The breeze in your hair and on your face, oh man it’s like an angel is leading you along.
Those late nights with friends, jumping off the pier was always scary because the thought of sharks was near.
The bonfires on warm summer nights are always a treat.
Snuggling with your loved one in the sand as you watch the waves is a delicacy.
When a storm hits the ocean it’s like an extravagant water fight and when in a sheltered place it’s quite a show.
I remember waking up at dawn, and sitting on the beach, preparing my surfboard and jumping in.
The water is brisk, but how it feels to duck under a wave is surreal.
It’s a place to go to ponder on your life.
I enjoyed watching marvelous creatures, such as dolphins propelling themselves out of the water to do a flip.
The glimmering light that the ocean reflects from the sun brings joy to my eyes no matter what trials I’m dealing with.
The ocean puts me at complete peace.
It’s more then just a playground; it is truly a touch of heaven.
All the beauty and memories the ocean has brought turns it into an old friend.
No matter where I go in life, the ocean, the environment, the emotions, the peace and the memories will still be there engraved into the sands.
