Sitting here burning up in the heat,
With longings of reaching the beach.
To have sun-kissed skin,
And salt water dripping from head to toe.
As I lay here on my bed,
My mind and soul wander to the nearest waters.
This yearning I have deepens
As the only sound on my mind
Is the crashing of those
Sky reflected waves.
My sweat trickles down my face,
But my mind takes me to a cooler surrounding.
I lay on the sand
Touched by the hand of the sea breeze.
The water glistens with the aid of the sun,
Painting a picture of many emotions
Filled with beauty and fun,
Watcing the ocean's motions.
Serenity lingers
And I am no longer warm,
Caresses by nature's fingers
For today, this is what I long.

Would be a nice place to be. Here it is raining, but at least we didn't get snow, just a few flurries Saturday. Has been a cold, windy rainy weekend , and a long one at that. Sentiments well expressed in these lines; easy to read and understand.
