Sands of Time

When I stand on the shore, everything makes sense. I am forced into the now. All of my senses are being utilized as nature intended. I experience comfort. My fear of death fades away. The air smells refreshing, salty. The wet sand under my feet and the wind at my face feels just right. I can see eternity. I am temporary and that is ok. This world is fascinating, captivating, Nature provides. My mind goes blank as I peer into eternity. My soul no longer aches. I admire nature’s beauty. I feel no illness. No worries. No sorrow For a moment, I let the rest of the world worry about itself, selfishly. I am home. As the sun sets, reality checks in. Time to go. Time... Where does it go? Sometimes I miss the good times. Well, I have run out of time. I must go now.

Such a beautiful poem about nature and life! Sometimes the wind or the sky is enough to make us forget about the rest of the world. The nature is enough to convey our emotions. "As the sun sets, reality checks in. time to go" I felt it!

The ocean gives comfort. It will always be there for you to return. I love how you wrote this poem. It's interesting how you come to terms in the first lines, and ends with a gentle resignation. I felt this scene in my heart.
