The Water's Edge

Looking at the horizon of the ocean, I see the water meeting the sky. Glancing at these typical waves, Coming toward the inland, I start to sigh. Reflections of the clouds move fast, As their rippled appearance catch my attention. Beautiful and fluffy they all seem to be, Floating through the sky with unique dimensions. Now off in the distance the sun starts to set, And the peaceful waves are still in resume. The analogous sight that was once in the sky, Has faded and I’m left with the beautiful moon. The breeze, so calm as it caresses me softly, I wish I could capture this moment to share. I’d share it with anyone who’d like to feel, Mesmerized by the passion, I breathe from this air. It’s a beautiful experience to sit with Nature; Kicking my feet off this rocky ledge. With a soothting feeling of the warmth of the ocean, As my feet are caressed by the water's edge. __________________________ Inspired by Laura McKenzie's —Love for the Ocean Contest—
