The Beach

 Written 11/5/2022

I feel the sand under my feet

I walk to shoreline

I stare out in the open

Closing my eyes

I hear the waves crashing

I breathe in the salt air

Taking deep breaths 

I sit on the sand

Listening

Nothing around me

Only sand and waves

The sky a bright blue

No clouds in the sky

Soft breezes brush my cheek

The sun kissing me with warmth

Quietly sitting 

Breathing

Remembering I’m safe
