Sunset
The scent of the ocean
clings in the air.
The mist on my face
leaves a salty taste in my
mouth.
The breeze plays with my hair,
and cools my skin.
A flock of seagulls fly overhead,
carefree and peaceful.
"Please, take me with you,
I want to be free."
The waves break on the shore
A calming, soothing lullaby
of life's eternal ebb and flow.
I listen entranced by this ancient
song,
healing the soul with its primeval
melody.
The warmth of the day
slowly fades.
I watch the glow descent from
the sky
As colors change
from golden yellow
to sanguine pink
and finally healing violet.
The last rays reach across the
water
to touch my heart
and restore my spirit.
I am renewed, strengthened
able to face another day.
