I walk along the beach, feeling the soft, wet sand beneath my toes,

the cool water washes over my feet,

a soft breeze blows, 

The smell of the salty air surrounds me, wrapping me like a warm hug,

I look out over the sea, 

trying to take a picture in my mind,

I want to remember it forever, 

this moment in time.

The sunset paints the sky with a mixture of orange, blue, pink, and yellow, 

creating a beautiful image on the canvas of the horizon.

As I look out over the water, I realize that this is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen.
