She ran across
The soft, white sand
Her cheeks flushing
A rosy shade of red
She raced through
The rippling ocean waves
Rushing about her ankles
A cheerful laugh
Erupted from her delicate lips
Her eyes shining
With joy
She spun around
In the rumbling, tumbling waves
Giggling softly
As her dress
Flew around her
Swirled around her
Like a vibrant curtain
Trailing behind her
Ripples moving through
Her feet danced
Dancing to the rhythm
Of the rumbling, tumbling waves
She was free
She was unleashed
From all the sorrow
She might have held
Unaware of the seagulls flying
Uncaring of the people watching
Unafraid of the looks they gave her
Surrounded by
Her big, bright bubble
Of happiness
Of peace
Of bliss
Her hands twirled
Creating waves in the air
She closed her eyes
And smiled
A big, bright smile
That could light up
Just about anything
Full of content
Full of delight
And she danced.
