moonlight dance

Sand between my toes.
Midnight moonlight dancing on the ocean to a far off melody -
the quiet song of the waves on the shore.
   

Wet and soft is the sand underneath my feet.
It gives way to my toes as i run along the beach
flying in the rushing air.
   

The wind catches my hair
spreading it wide in a sail behind me.
i stretch out my arms and spin around.
Joining the moonlight in its dance to the music of the waves.
  

i splash ankle deep in the water,
smell the salty air,
feel the refreshing tide as it laps over my feet.
  

This beach is mine - for a moment.
  

i could walk along the edge of the water forever,
just dancing in the moonlight.
Free.
