Blue

I smell the aroma of salt in the air.
Waves crash upon the shore,
Leaving a lasting impression on the ears of observers and visitors.
Seagulls fly overhead,
Searching for their next victim.

The scent of sunscreen is also present,
Layered on everyone baking underneath the strong UV rays.
I can feel the warm, grainy sand
Beneath my feet.

The water is cool and calm.
The perfect place on a summer afternoon,
As the sun is starting to set.
The ideal spot for two people in love.

I see him walking towards me,
Dressed in the traditional colors of a bonding ceremony.
His eyes meet mine and I smile.
What place could be more perfect
Than this free open space?
