_sunshower_ - Hello Poetry

I woke up before the sun did. Purple darkness blotted my vision as I rolled out from under the warm comforter. The cold air seeped through my sweater the closer I padded to the window. Parting the curtains a crack, I looked out to the parking lot of the motel. Thick, greenish-white mist enveloped the pine trees and the lonely car shop across the street. It was like looking through a frosted glass shower door. Fog comes on little cat feet? More like huge tiger paws. The paws of a white tiger, looking for lost prey. Too bad for the tiger, I'm too smart to get lost.

In the land of moonlight, veiled in blue, lay a calm lake dressed in silvery ripples. She slept soundly, nestled between remote mountains where nobody went. (Surrounded by towering pines that pierced the cool air with their spicy aroma).

I crest the sand dune breath catching in my chest. A sigh of relief, my eyes consume the sight. The ocean is so blue. So vast. So loud, yet quiet. White noise. Joy bubbles up into my chest, onto my smiling lips and squinting eyes. My senses buzz with satisfaction. The smell of sunbaked sand, of the salty ocean air on my tongue. The wind is cold and the sun is warm. The sand, scalding hot on the surface, but cool once I bury my feet deeper. Peoples voices and seagulls calls are muted by the waves crashing against the shore. The weightless blue sky, The deep blue ocean, and the soft white sand. Simple enough, but I can't look away and I want to stay.
