Sunset

The sand between my toes
The salty air around me
The clouds cover us like a fluffy blanket
Walking along the rocks bare foot
Looking at the water
Looks as calm as a sleeping baby
Desperate to jump in
I resist the urge
The cold rocks under my feet
As I look over at the sunset
The horizon as golden as I have ever seen
The sun painting the clouds with colour
The ships sail the sea as a seagull soars
The sun getting closer and closer to disappearing
I start to look again around and observe the beautiful sights around me
I drag my fingers the water
And just through that I feel refreshed
The lighthouse’s shining lights above me draw my attention
And I imagine the view from up there
How even more amazing it would be
My eyes return to the horizon as I see the sun finally go
As I walk away I think about all the people who didn’t have the chance to see what I just saw.
