They are napping together
Half naked sun kissed bodies smelling of sea salt
with grains of sand tucked between toes
Silent and pink and sweet
Bums in the air, eye lids gently closed, breaths deep and long and matched
And it is beautiful
Peaceful and serene
The quiet
Their tenderness in sleep is sweeter than the sea shell filled moments by the shore
My eyes take it all in and my soul smiles
My hope is for them to remember just a hint of these days
Filled with the taste of salt left on lips whispering peace and serenity
The kindness between them in the quiet moments
The togetherness
The calm instead of the storm
The freedom that comes with sinking toes into deep wet sand
and the laughter of splashes
