The Beach - POTD

The sun set peacefully as I looked out towards the distant red horizon of the calm, oily sea. A gentle breeze caressed me, I stood on the edge of the beach leaving imprints on the fine sand. I loved this lonely beach, the silence was broken softly by the azure wavelets that brushed the edge of the sand. So much beauty and wonder despite the darkness that, like an old fog, descended upon that peaceful part of earth. I looked towards the sky dotted with billowy clouds that raced below the twinkling stars. I wondered if my angel was up above, looking down on me, guarding me from my earthly woes. What could I do without my heavenly being of love? I felt immense tranquillity, the beach shrouded in peace far away from the noisy cities to which I would have to return. The stars appeared: the evening star, was it that heralded the birth of my Creator? It mattered not, for I was safe. He was taking care of me. I knew I'd never be forlorn. Those days have passed. Now I'm back home among cold concrete blocks. Yet in my heart is peace for I can still hear the gentle lapping of the sea waves on the peaceful beach that is my own.
