The Ocean

A day at the beach.

By Ruby GrantPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

Dust under foot

A thin line where soil meets sand

warm dark brown, fine tan.

Grey, glaring white foam

pushing forward, withdrawing

it's human nature.

soft wind brushes past,

it is a bittersweet caress

the touch stings, soothes.

Unforgiving sun

Ball of fire with no shadow

shines down on me.
