Under the sheet
An embrace so close, so close
A feeling of near contentment
An illusion in mind
Placing that moment on the sand
The sea breeze touching the skin
Smelling the ocean’s world
Breathing in all that’s alive
A feeling so close, so good
Almost reaching to perfection
A strong hug, a soft caress
Absorbed in each other’s presence
Combined with the surrounding
A total surrender of will
Driving that feeling to ecstasy
A climax one with nature
To a total contentment
What a perfection.
