Oh Gentle Gust

I languish beach side on a blanket by an azure ocean perspiring profusely. Then comes a soothing coolness wafting its wonder over me. It fans my sun-drenched face bringing me refreshment and breathing sweet peace to me. It whispers in my ear tranquility; lying on my back, I’m so at ease. Oh, gentle gust, you are my balm on this sweltering day of July. Oh summer wind, with all the magic you possess, please linger long, blessing me.
