dark surroundings engulf me
dry sand all around
slightly chilly air
cool breeze blowing

creepy crawlers sneak about
scratchy blankets rub my legs
damp socks coat my feet
loose t-shirt riding up near my waist

millions of stars above me
crescent moon calls out to me
birds mock each other
salty smell overwhelms my senses

waves crashing on the shore
mist sprinkling my face
soft sand falls through my fingers
wind wisps my hair into my eyes

sun rising in the distance
colors reflect on the moving sea
dew blankets everything it touches
I wait for the dark surroundings to engulf me again
