Waves Clashing Shore of Myrtle Beach

My toes wiggled in the cool sand
Waves crashed onto shore, Myrtle Beach
I sat bottom of beach house steps
The ripples move in then move out.

Part of the beach is washed away
My toes wiggled in the cool sand
My heart pulled into the ocean
Cool, damp, salty breeze on my skin

Never before seen an ocean
Its Divine power drew me in
My toes wiggled in the cool sand
Skies meets water in the distant.

My stress and problems always there
A wanderer I've always been
Inhale, exhale far out to sea.
My toes wiggled in the cool sand.

A very good memory that has the ability to calm, though I suppose the longing will take over in the end.
Loved it, Take care out there in the boxes,
Yours Ian xx
