Gentle waves washing ashore, how lovely 

The deep silence of the vast open ocean running through oneself 

The embracing, powerful feeling of quiet happiness

The beautiful, rich smell of a crunchy, savory BLT sandwich

Crunch, crunch, crunch 

The loud, silent breathing unleashed 

Inhale, exhale, repeat 

Gentle waves washing ashore, how lovely 

Deep uneasy distress floating away as we say 

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh

Shhh, shhh, shhh, the calming tide is here 

Seagulls squalling rummaging for scraps 

Wind swirling through the air, flowing through one’s hair

Howling in and out of your ears 

Rusting, whispering, roaring as we stare

Humming, howling, and murmuring

Gentle waves washing ashore, how lovely 

Sound waves echoing through seashells

 Senseless footsteps smashing quietly on the shore 

Tip toe, tip toe 

The sandy towel fluttering through the air

Muffled soft landing on the sand 

Staring intently at gentle, beautiful, chilling waters 

The whispering of the waves, how magical
