The Tide

By Maddy Butler

It’s quite easy to get lost in the tide Take a brief whiff and smell the saltiness in the air Observe the dark blue colored water slowly fade into clear Listen closely and hear the water crashing into each other When the tide comes, Your heart fills with excitement You watch the water come rapidly at you Then slowly pull away from you And each time it pulls away, You feel a sense of relief A sense of comfort Sitting alone on the wet sand Not a soul around you for miles You close your eyes And feel the sound of the waves close to you You put your hand against the sand And feel a seashell under it When you absorb the beaches beauty, It really is quite easy to get lost in the tide
