THE OCEAN AND I AM BUT A DROP WITHIN
I feel the sand between my toes damp, cold, gritty and sharp as I walk towards the foam lying upon the sand. The waves mesmerising me, calling me forth to take one step and then another. Cold and afraid I walk towards my destiny. I am alone knowing that I am drawn to them just…
