A Design Created Only For Me

I linger here... The early morning sunrise awoke me leading me to unknown shores. The crisp breeze fills my lungs and I am taken away by the depth of the ocean as it g l o w s beyond the horizon. I feel the grains of sand, stones and rocky land under my toes that are level with the water. The mild current flows up to my knees freeing me from life's distractions. I am tranquilized among the pearlescent shells sleeping gracefully on the sea shore before me, having sweet dreams of distant lands. A swift mist streams through my body cooling my senses as I witness a desperate seagull swoop down and catch its prey. The rays sparkle off the water showering a soft rainbow streak over the current. The sound of the waves gently crashing connected me to the reasons why I enjoy... -embracing life. Tender blue hues surround the sky and I can’t see anything but the beauty of mother nature. I am A M A Z E D... I am finally home. My essence remains composed from the scent of the fresh aura that is released from the content ebb flow of my life. I close my eyes taking the deepest breath and I am free... Free to choose the future that lies before me. If an ocean has a purpose... -so must I... I must embrace the coastline of this surreal life God has gifted to me. I had been searching for the meaning I carry, and as I looked out at the endlessness of the waters I realized this is my shore... my sweet soul shining d e s i g n created only for me...
