Ocean Spray

Close your eyes

Keep them closed

Dream of a faraway place

No one is there

The sun is hot
But there is cool breeze

Your hair twists around your face

Your skin tingles in the heat

The sand is soft beneath you
The tide makes its way toward you
Paradise

Leaves rustle farther away

You dig your toes into the sand

The ocean spray strikes your face
You taste the salt on your lips

The water finally reaches you

Open your eyes
