The wind caresses my hair with its loving fingers,
And I enjoy every refreshing moment, while it
lingers.
I listen to the waves creating beautiful melodies,
They make my ears dance,
There has never been a sound so pretty.
I breathe and sniff up to smell the beautiful
salty goodness of the sea,
A smell so good, it delights me.
I observe a seagull looking for food,
And to my delight, it's in a good mood.
It caws at me
"I won't be long!"
Now the sweet aroma of candyfloss fills the air,
I buy some and savor those sweet days of childhood,
Taking me back to a time when I could be a child,
without having to care.
As I head home, I feel refreshed and happy,
And I remind myself to always make sure,
each day to take time to savor a breath of fresh air.

The Devil's Cut
“Comrade, finally you’re awake.” The voice was smooth, sensual. A flickering incandescent bar was all that lit the white, sterile room. All Vladimir remembered was everything going black. He tried to move his arms and found them strapped to the gurney.

The seagull in a good mood? I love that you added him in. What a magical piece. Love the rhyme scheme, especially in the first half; just beautiful to read.
This is wonderful. We have to stop and smell the roses sometimes. You just got a new subscriber.
