The calm realm
The shimmer of blue catches the eyes of those who pass by
The inviting calmness masking the coming storm
The waves lap against the shore with eeriness no one can place
A boat passes through the water unaware of the clouding sky
Laughter echoes across to those on shore
The shape of jumping Dolphins appear at the front of the boat
Strangers close their eyes and inhale the deep scent of the salty ocean
The sound of trees blowing in the wind can be heard from the nearby palm trees
The enticing invitation the ocean offers is to great to deny
Every person pauses to enjoy a moment of peacefulness by the water
The sand between their toes reminds them of playing in the sandbox
The kids building sand castle causes a smile to light each and every face
The couple walking hand in hand whispering words of love and admiration reminds them of a love they once had
The sky turns dark
The weather turns cold
The water becomes alive with a new sense of passion
The green trees turn a dark brown
The season changes from summer to fall
Embrace the cold
Embrace the dark
Embrace the calm before the storm
