This Place

Look at this place As the tide begins to drown my ankles And the soft sand tickles my toes I close my eyes to fully embrace this space Look at this place Clean air fills my lungs Inhale! Exhale! Those around see the relaxation in my face Look at this place Sun’s rays massage my shoulders Moon’s reflection reveals my glow Feeling the calm, I slow my pace Look at this place Simple delicacies Complex concoctions I think I will, have a taste Look at this place So full of life I hate it must end Real life I must face This place is my dream My time away I escape in my mind My peace to esteem ~ Ms. Affection
