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

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...
