Wistful Declarations

Unknown Happiness

I let the waves wash over me,

as the cold and sweet sea sent shivers down my spine.

I felt excited and filled with a mischievous, childish joy,

and could envision bubbles and bursts inside of me.

I watched and waited for the waves to crash down,

and cover my tingling toes,

to feel its warmth and wisdom.

I could hear the birds overhead call out into the vast empty air,

and feel the rush as they brushed past, so close they felt a part of me.

the smell of the salty sea was vibrant,

as the wind whipped and whistled past my ears,

blowing it into my face.

I let the sand shift in-between my toes,

and gazed at its lively, and mystic colours.

and before I could stop myself squeals of laughter burst out,

and an unknown happiness filled my heart with a honey warmth.
