The Calm After The Storm

Sea

i went to the sea

it was beyond beautiful 

in my fantasies

fairy tales cheer me

i went to the sea

this time in reality

i do not have words to describe the beauty and purity that was the sea which laid in front of me

my eyes could not believe what they saw

i made sand-angels

because why not?

if you want to try it but are shy, tell those watching to come have fun with you

i spread my arms free in the warm-cold, lovely beach sand and sprawled out my legs

this was more than fantastic

the sun kissed my skin, leaving a warm, beautiful glow

i felt the sand on my fingers with closed eyes 

i took deep, relaxing breaths

then i opened my eyes

the colours had gotten even more vivid

the views more mesmerizing

i listened to the waves next, as they came to meet the shore

soothing was the sond

the smell of wet sand, sea, sea-shells, free sky, huts, and birds was indescribable 

i loved every second of it

when i came back 

i recited prayers of gratefulness to God

because if i had not been courageous, determined to love and accept myself and others, and believing in God and how He was there for me

i would not have been able to see this Calm After The Storm.
