Land Of Beryl

Looking down at empty pale feet

Pure crystal water

Kissing the gaunt quivering toes

Like tiny nipping lips

 

An intoxicating dewy tickle

Replenishes the ulcerated legs

 

Thin iced glass brushes the face

Coating it in a soft chilled frost

 

Salty needles pinch the eyes

Making vision blurry yet refreshed

 

To blink would be a miss

A loss of excessive sight

An immense beauty gone

 

A crawling land of beryl

A saturated endless terrene

An ocean

I went on a trip to Florida for business.  I didn't get to go in the ocean, but I got to look at it.  This is what my mind was imagining.
