My DayA Story by Linda I close my eyes and sigh low at the sound of the ocean wave
hitting the rocky wall of the cliff I am standing on. Wind blew through my dark
brown curls and my face. The rocky sand that lays under my bare feet feels
rough yet relaxing, reminding that where I am is real. I take a deep breath through
my nose and smell the salt water that lays down below. Spreading my arms wide,
I smile as I feel the wind run through my fingers. It felt as if clouds are
swaying swiftly past my fingers, up my arms, and down my silky white dress that
stops at knees. Slowly, I open my eyes and put my arms down. I
look down at my feet and take two steps closer to the edge of the cliff,
letting the rocky sand slip in between my toes. I look around me and see green
trees all around. Pine cones drop quietly onto the small patch of grass. Leaves
from trees around sway onto the ground and get blown into the air by the
wind. I look up to see the gray clouds cover the sun, making the sky just
gray with a hint of blue. I take small steps to the cliff, getting as close as
i can to the edge. I sigh, relieved to see the dark gray water hit
the sandy shore and hit the cliff wall I am sitting on. Every time the waves
hit the wall, it makes drops fly and hit the toes on my feet. As I admire the
salt water foam splash everywhere, two beautiful dolphins shoot out and
gracefully splash back in. I stare, amazed, envying a little, and wishing that,
that could be me. Swim and splash aimlessly to a wonderful place. Without
worrying what will happen when a gray cloud hovers over my head. Birds fly up in the air, gliding, making
circles, spreading their wings, aiming high. As I watch carefully at the
careless birds fly, a raindrop hits my cheek. I smile and slowly lay on the
ground. Soaking in the wonders of this day. My day © 2016 Linda |
