Grains of salt tickle my
nostrils
I breathe in and taste grit
on my tongue
Frothy waves crash on the
damp earth
Bringing life out of the sea
and into the sand
In a never ending trip
The sun beating down on me
The heat sizzling my olive
skin lobster red
My lips crack like the
minerals beneath my toes
The thunderous roar of the
waves sings to me
The aromas awaken my mind
The cool dank air filled with
fumes
From the near by water
treatment plant
The rotting seaweed and
decomposing lives
Hints of death flow through
the breeze
The distant aroma of life
beneath the waves
In the horizon dolphins flash
their bodies
In the sun as they dance out
of the blue
Gulls gawk across the moist
earth
Digging up little crabs and
worms
As their treasure for the day
This is where two worlds
collide
Earth greeting water every
minute
In a tug-a-war like motion
Where human life interrupts
that
Of the beauty beneath the
water
