A Day At the Beach

Above me seagulls soar As I sit upon the sandy shore- The sound of the ocean's waves calm me Almost hypnotizing me in its endless body of motion Children are busy laughing and playing While making castles in the sand A gentle breeze blows past Softly caressing my skin Stirring emotions deep within How I wish this day would never end

Moments frozen in time by your words summoned a painted image. How easily the two could be interposed.

The imagery in this is amazing! It paints a perfect picture of the beach.
