The beach

I take a deep breath of the salty air
and push myself forward
My foot lands on solid, wet sand
I push forward still
Each step bringing me closer
My body has no limits here
My joints feel no pain
There is nothing holding me back
My heels leave slight imprints
My toes push off the grainy moisture
I push forward even still
Soon my steps leave no print
The breeze picks up and I feel it whip around me
It reaches down and scoops me up
My body lifts into a sea of blue
The air becomes my terrain
The clouds are my companions
The wind is my guide
They sky is my fortress
The sun is my tower
The journey is here
And I am free
