The ocean

If you stand on the shore the water stretches farther than the eye can see. The beautiful colors in the water from the sunset or the sunrise. How calm it is like a sleeping newborn. How out of control it can get like a bull in the rodeo.. So out of control and full of mystery. The smell of salt in the air the seagulls flying around in search for anything they can find. The smell lingers in your nose for so long even after you've left.. The most amazing smell. The perfectly round sand dollars washing up on the shore. The tiny crabs you find when you flip up rocks. The beautiful starfish you find hiding in the cracks of bigger rocks from high tide going out and leaving them behind. The water rushing in , rushing quickly and on time. Flooding my feet in the warm sand. The caves that the water has left behind. Walking over the rocks hand in hand with my granddaddy finding tiny creatures in awe for the ones I've never seen before the ones I must know the names of. The huge seaweeds I've still never gotten over. I miss the ocean it's like a home.. The city is so over rated.
