The Ocean

I can taste the salt coming from the spray of the high

tides Ocean as its waves break against the rocks.

As I watch the children play, unbeknownst to myself,

I am laughing aloud as I see their little faces light up,

Like the stars, their excited screams as splashes reach

Their pale little bodies. ‘Why didn’t I do this sooner?’

I ask myself as I run and join them.

Oh! To be young again, to run and play, see and feel the Ocean and sand beneath feet.

You paint a lovely picture with words.

Jenny.
