The crystine water rocks back and forth

Droplets sprinkling the ivory sand

Soaking in the sunshine

Children in swimsuits run across the seaside

Their tiny feet making small muddy imprints

In otherwise pristine white seafloor

The glowing morning blue sky

Fades to a shimmering pink haze

As evening draws near

The swarming families

Soon leave the ocean and fun behind

Packing up to go home

Suddenly I am the only one left

Surrounded only by the cool breeze and sand

Stretching out for miles

Memories flash in my head

Of a small, freckled faced boy

Making sandcastles while lauging in joy

A woman with a kind faced smile and pale blue eyes

Inquestions what I’m doing

Looking at my sandy creation

I giggle for a bit

Suddenly getting hiccups

To which the woman laughs

She picks me up

Craddling me in her arms like a baby

Rocking me back and forth, ignoring my screamed yet joyful protests

All too sudden I snap out of the haze I’m in

And face the shock of reality

Yet another time

But instead I smile

Gently putting my head down on the sand

Lying still and calm

Serenity
