The Last Rays By Lauren Medeiros

Written By: Rachel Barker - Jun• 10•16

The hot California sun was beating down on my skin.

The orange and yellow rays

hit the waves and made the ocean glisten.

I sink my pretty pink toes into the sand,

letting the waves crash among me.

Shells were spread all around the beach,

poking up like little rays of light.

I smell the crisp, salty ocean air surrounding me.

The thick air is like a blanket of humidity wrapping around me.

As the long summer day

winded

down,

I sat in the sand and listened,

to the seagulls squawk and the waves crash among me.

In the distance I saw people surfing the 8 foot waves,

looking carefree.

Simple

yet

beautiful.

I watch the sun

go

down

As a new day will start tomorrow.

There is no place I would rather be than on the beach.
