Ocean Dreams
The roar of the ocean arouses me from sleep.
I blink my eyes open, squinting at the brightness of the new day.
I start to rise to my feet
And I can feel every grain of sand
That has found its way into every crevice of my body.
As I adjust my eyes to the light,
I take in my surroundings.
Though I have been here many times before,
I am still in awe at the beauty that surrounds me.
Ahead of me, miles and miles of sparkling blue ocean.
To either side of me, golden sand that seems to go on forever.
Behind me, the city of malibu rushes by,
Unable to stop and take in what they no longer see.
A smile comes to my lips at the thought of this,
As I rush into the water, white waves crashing all around me,
The cold hitting me like millions of needles coming at me in all directions.
I let the ocean take me in,
I love the feel of it tossing me all around,
Not knowing which way is up.
When I get back to the shore,
I lay back down and let the sun lull me back to sleep
While the sound of the ocean sings me a lullaby.
