Beach

This is paradise. The beach stretches on for what seems like forever before finally in the distance curving into a smooth crescent. The evening air is warm, moist and refreshing. The smells of the ocean and beach surround and engulf me.

The grains of sand are cool and smooth against my feet. The beach is a desert against the canopy of great palm trees. Their bark is like scales, and each leaf is a thousand knives. Glistening in the setting sun. My hammock, although not a natural occurrence, is a necessity. It provides a relaxing and comfortable way to feel at one with my surroundings.

The ocean waves lick the sandy beach foaming as they glide toward me before sliding back down into the graceful sea. The sea is an ocean of ripple glass reflecting, reflecting magnificent yellow and orange. The smooth waves miles away roll like a flag in the wind. Just down the beach the waves thrash against rocks like an angry beast trying to get out of its cage onto land.

The smell of the beach engulfs me in this almost unreal world of relaxation. The air is smooth, not wet and not dry. You could almost touch it, you could feel it all around. It reminds me of a dog kissing its master. My shorts, the only thing I am wearing, are smooth like the layer of silk that seems to sit over the sea and waving slightly in the ocean breeze. Here I can feel the energy living or not, coming from he sea and from the many birds that sit still, not stirring as if in a trance by this beauty, out of sight. I could feel the energy of the people laughing and dancing at the hotel bar. Along with this comes the strong smell of liquor and wine.. The drink I have sitting next to me produces a dry taste that slightly dulls the scene.

As I like here, the sound of waves pound the beach like maracas whose slow thunder glides up and down the shore. I hear the distant sounds of a party: people are yelling at the tops of their lungs as if their lives depended on it. I'm not complaining because along with this and all the other sounds comes the sound and feel of paradise.
