Sunset rising back to Earth
Waves coming to shore
Filling free from all around me.

holding hands warms the sun
and also the yellow and red
sand brings back old memories
of when I was a boy

Oh, lovely! This is so impressive to see everybody using such concrete words but also abstract ideas like memories and feelings. I grew up in Florida (but now live in Minnesota), and I could practically feel the hot sand between my toes and that feeling of the waves barely brushing over my feet while the wet sand squelches beneath them. And that blazing sun like a blanket pressing down on me. Y'all brought it all back to me!

Congratulations--you guys rock!
