Ocean Beach

As I walk down the stairs to the beach, I hear the wondrous waves crashing down.
It reminds me of my first time here.
The squawking of the seagulls is loud indeed.
I drop my belongings, and run to the waters edge.
The water is cold, but also refreshing.
I dive under, it feels like a deep dark dungeon.
I come up and see the powerful sun shining down on me.
As I look further out into the ocean, dolphins are playing and pouncing around.
I take a second dive.
I feel alive.
As I swim, I see soft silver fish swimming around in circles, like a swinging hula hoop.
This is my happy place.
This is my home.
All the rocks, sand, tree and waves hold my life's stories.
