floating

i inhale the salty air

feel the grit of golden sand between my toes

as i run faster and faster

down the shore line

my footprints deep in the sand behind me

the waves crashing violently at my feet

they slam into the ground

at the pace of my heartbeat 

i am almost soaring

but i slow down at a curve

to make my final leap

and i'm soaring, slowly gliding up

floating

leaving my worries on the ground behind me

i'm gone now; i'm done

i'm on to new and better things

i get higher and higher

and the wind blows me up and down

around and around

i am like a red silk ribbon

all stretched out

floating in the breeze

carefree

not stopping for anything

i am drifting

through the soft wisps of clouds

towards the orange and red sunset

always chasing it; i'll never have to end the day
