It was calming, sitting by this ocean shore.  He crossed his legs and closed his eyes.  He breathed in each time the sound of waves crashed against the sand and out again when they returned back.  His mind drifted and wandered, he did not stop the thoughts.  Sad things.  Simple things.  His dreams of supporting his family.  His ethic of working hard.  The burn out he had been feeling, pressed on by a strict father began to settle.  His soul was less restless.

He opened his eyes and watched the waves with a small smile on his face.  At this point, he decided to walk along the sandy beach.  He removed his socks and shoes and rolled up the bottoms of his slacks.  The heat of the sand felt wonderful against his soles and when the cold water lapped over his feet it cooled the burning sensation.  He walked for about fifteen minutes before setting side his shoes and taking out his phone.  There was inspiration burning in his belly but he did not know in what way he should express it.

Guy snapped pictures of the ocean and shoreline.  After a bit, he sat down and studied the pictures.  It then came to him.  He tapped out a poem on his phone and then thought of the only person he would really love to send it to.  Get feedback or to just share in this.  He opened up his texts and then sent a single picture along with the words he wrote.

It was into the ocean's waves
I thought that I should slip.
Carry me on azure boughs
Away from rigid sandy shore.
In the quiet of the depths
of dark and unknown things
is where I'll ask a modest prayer
to soothe this luckless soul.[/center]

He hit send before tucking the phone back into his pocket.  He expected no immediate response.  He drew his legs up to his chest, wrapping his arms around them and setting his chin upon his knees.  Again he watched the waves and forgot how long he had been out beside the ocean.
