peace

the water laps gently against your legs
as your feet slide slowly
into the soft sand
as the gently breeze cools your neck
you gaze longly across the ocean
following it from your feet
to where it forms a seamless union with the sky
the sun hangs upon it
perfectly framed
like a picture hung on an empty wall
the gently lapping of the tide
creates a melody that dances in your ears
as your nose becomes enamoured with the smell of the saltly waters
the fresh ocean air fills your lungs
till you breath out the breathe of perfect relaxation

the father wraps his arms around you
comforting you in times of need
a soft shoulder and steady hands
an understanding of you
that streatchs beyond your understanding of your self
his peace is true
and everlasting
even after the oceans, sun, and sand
fade away
