Steady as she goes...

My thoughts drift to cool, jewelled sands, glimmering beneath a gloriously golden sun, waves gently tapping at the beach's edges. The infinite reaches of a infinite world stretch out far beyond my sight's meager grasp. I stand and bathe in the wind's warm embrace, and the surge of life taps me on my skin warmed by the sun. The air is electric. The sound of the world whispers to my spirit. The sky above is a blue that exceeds my perception of perfection. I can feel nothing but an absolute joy that only childhood once brought.

Perhaps one day this will be a thought lived and not longed for. I can only hope to see this day instead of dreamed of.
