Take it all into you

standing in the water ankle deep
the waves were brushing up past my knees
I held my skirt in my hands
my camera dangled around my neck

looking out to the horizon
ocean blues blurred together until they reached the sky
where the colors danced their way to infinity

I opened my arms
and breathed in a long slow breath of salt laden air.

'close your eyes.' he said

the wind softly whispered in my ears and combed the hair around my face
the sun's fingertips touched my skin and reflected life onto my eyes
the water kissed at my legs as the salt stung against my skin

'When I stand like this - it's like I can feel the entire ocean moving into me.' he said.
