By the Ocean

Laying here staring out across the ocean, listening to the sound of waves roaring, gazing up at all of the glimmering stars, lighting up the sea like a dance floor. Counting stars as blessings life has given me, thanking God for each and everyone of them, so relaxing just lying next to the shore lines, trying to draw in the last bits of the night. The full moon shining ever so brightly now, and the waves calm down to a gentle splash, a light breeze pushes softly against my skin, I grab my sweater and drape it around me, as I go to leave I stop and turn around, just to admire the ocean one last time.
