Escape

Close your eyes, feel the sun warm your face.
Let yourself go to another place.
Feel the breeze. See how the great palms dance.
Smell the sea air while you have this chance.

Listen as sea gulls bark at the sun.
It’s peaceful here where no one can come.
Feel the warmth of sand beneath your feet,
Watching crabs, as two of them compete.

Hear as waves tell secrets to the sand.
See the tide draw closer to the land.
Escape this world. Forget you are there.
Stay here, where the salt spray’s in the air.
