Beach

I walk on the sand, with no one around me,
only my footprints follow me.

I wonder where my destination is,
as I watch the sun come out of its cover.
Illuminating this dark world.

The beach is empty, the waves are my only companions.

I venture into the water, not too deep though.
A wave hits me and I am back on the sand.
The journey is easier here, no challenges, no hardships.

The beach is filled with people now, the sun fully out.
I look behind me and realize that my footprints have disappeared.

Few people head for the water, the rest throng the sands.
I wake up to the fact;
the water is where I should venture.
