The Ocean

The ocean and the beach

It’s my favorite place

Nothing relaxes me

Quite like the sound of the ocean

The sand beneath my feet

The water lapping at my legs

Even the seagulls cries are comforting

Some of my happiest memories are by the ocean

It’s sad to me that I live so far from it

Maybe one day I’ll retire by the ocean

But for now I’ll dream of the ocean waves

And wait for the next time I’m touched by the sun and the waves

So I’ll just sit here and write

Dreaming of a house by the ocean

Enjoying the memories of the smell of salt

The taste of the fresh caught red fish and shark

Hoping that the next time I go

I catch a kingfish

Best damn fish I’ve ever had

So I’ll plan my next seaside getaway

And wait and dream of my happy place

As I sludge through my day to day

Which really ain’t that bad
