i’m standing on a sandy beach
silky warmth sliding over my feet
and sun warming my skin
cool breeze wafting off the ocean
lifting my hair off my face & neck
the sound of waves licking at the sand
and it’s clear freshness invigorating life in me
rejuvenation creeping over my entity
palm trees whisper sweet nothings
and talk of peace and relaxation lasting forever
birds of exotic nature sing and chirp in the trees
time stands still and my watch isn’t governing me
loose clothes cling to my wet golden brown skin
aromas float around me like perfume
& fill my sensory organs
and tell me of the things to relish
the sun melting into the ocean & flowing
toward me like a river of molten steel
beauty and warmth engulf me
and then
i wake up to reality.
